Brunch just got brighter with this zesty twist!
There are loads of healthy tuna dishes out there, but this one feels a little bit special. This tuna and avocado on toast recipe with crunchy slaw and five-spice oranges ticks all the boxes - colourful, full of flavour, and really easy to make.
This healthy tuna recipe starts with a simple slaw made from coleslaw mix, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, honey, spring onions and almonds. It’s fresh, crunchy and works well alongside the tuna. For the filling, mix tuna with mayonnaise, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, spring onions and a little pepper. Layer the tuna onto toasted whole wheat bread, or switch things up with sourdough, seeded rye or even a rustic baguette if you prefer. Top with thinly sliced avocado and fresh sprouts.
And then there’s the twist - oranges dusted with Chinese five-spice powder. It might sound a bit unexpected, but that gentle warmth goes brilliantly with the citrus, and ties the whole dish together.
This is also a healthy tuna dish that’s incredibly versatile. Swap tuna for grilled chicken or keep it veggie with smashed chickpeas, add chilli for heat, or play around with different breads and toppings. However you build it, this healthy tuna recipe proves that healthy eating can be seriously scrumptious.
