Serves
2
Nori sheets 4 pcs- Canned Tuna (~150 g) 1 can
- Greek yogurt 2 tbsp
- Dijon Mustard seeds 1 tsp
- Fresh cucumber 1 pc
- Fresh tomatoes 1 pc
- Avocado ½ pc
- Soy sauce, sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the canned tuna with Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until well combined
- Keep a bowl of clean water nearby to help handle the nori sheets
- Combine the drained canned tuna, yogurt, and mustard in a separate bowl. Mash everything thoroughly with a fork and stir until smooth. The mixture should be thick
- Lay a sheet of cling film on your work surface, place a nori sheet on top, and lightly moisten the edges with wet hands
- Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture evenly in the center of the nori sheet. Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocado on top, then spread another quarter of the tuna mixture. Fold the edges of the nori sheet towards the center
- Next to it (or in the same spot where the burger was prepared), lay out another sheet of Nori. Place the prepared burger on it with the 'open' edges facing down. Using wet hands, wrap the edges of the nori sheet tightly around the burger. Wrap everything in cling film and refrigerate for a few minutes. Repeat the same steps for the second burger
- Cut the burger in half and serve chilled with soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
- It’s best to prepare all the ingredients in advance, as this will significantly speed up the process.
- You can customize this burger by adding lettuce leaves or other vegetables such as bell pepper, corn, or carrots—whatever you like or have on hand.
- For the sauce, yogurt can be substituted with sour cream or mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard with regular mustard (though keep in mind that this will slightly change the calorie content).
- This burger is perfect for meal prep or as a cold appetizer for the table. It tastes great chilled, especially with soy sauce and red pickled ginger—or even wasabi, if you enjoy a bit of spice.
