About This Recipe
Bowls are one of the most versatile meals you can enjoy on a keto diet, and this Keto Tuna Avocado Bowl delivers everything you need in one nutrient-packed dish. With seared tuna as the protein base, creamy avocado for healthy fats, and cauliflower rice as a low-carb substitute for traditional grains, this bowl offers a balanced, satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
Tuna is an excellent choice for keto because it’s lean, rich in protein, and loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. When paired with avocado, you get the perfect balance of protein and healthy fats, which helps keep you full and energized. Fresh vegetables like cucumber, radish, and a touch of leafy greens add crunch, color, and fiber while keeping carbs low.
The dressing is simple but powerful: sesame oil, soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar-free sweetener to balance the flavors. A sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions ties everything together, making this bowl not only nutritious but also incredibly flavorful.
One of the best parts about this dish is its adaptability. You can prepare it as a raw poke-style bowl using sushi-grade tuna, or lightly sear the tuna for a quick, restaurant-quality upgrade. Don’t like tuna? Swap it for salmon, shrimp, or even grilled chicken while keeping the same keto-friendly base.
This recipe is quick to make, visually stunning, and endlessly customizable. It’s great for meal prep, easy weeknight dinners, or even an elevated lunch when you want something that feels light yet indulgent. Plus, with low net carbs, it fits seamlessly into your keto lifestyle without compromising taste or satisfaction.
