  • 1/2 firm-ripe avocado, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine 2 tbsp. salt and the sugar in a small bowl. Rub both sides of tuna belly with salt mixture. Set on a plate, cover, and chill at least 6 hours and up to overnight.

  3. Thinly slice radishes, then cut into thin matchsticks. Transfer to a small bowl and add avocado, chives, oil, and lemon juice. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and toss until well combined. Spoon some salad onto each plate.
