Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sauerkraut drained
  • 1 can wild-caught tuna in water drained
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 scallion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Iodized sea salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Wrap the sauerkraut in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. Transfer the sauerkraut to a bowl and fold in tuna, shallot, and scallion.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together tahini, sesame oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Add avocado and lemon juice, mashing or whisking until the mixture reaches the consistency of extra-thick mayonnaise.
  4. Fold the avocado-tahini “mayo” into the tuna-sauerkraut mixture. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  5. Serve on lectin-free bread or crackers, in lettuce or endive leaves, or alongside a green salad.
