Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Skewers:

1 lb fresh tuna, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares

1 red onion, cut into wedges

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use)

For the Lime Salsa:

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeds removed and minced (optional)

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Tuna: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Gently fold in the tuna cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the tuna is marinating, chop the red and green bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Set aside in a separate bowl.

      Make the Lime Salsa: In another bowl, mix the quartered cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine, and let the salsa sit at room temperature for the flavors to develop.

        Assemble the Skewers: Once the tuna has marinated, thread the marinated tuna cubes and vegetable pieces alternately onto the skewers. Create a colorful arrangement to enhance the visual appeal.

          Cook the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tuna is just cooked through while remaining tender and juicy. Take care not to overcook for the best texture.

            Serve: Carefully remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Generously spoon the lime salsa over the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh cilantro for a pop of color.

              Enjoy: Gather your loved ones and indulge in these delightful Zesty Tuna Skewers with refreshing Lime Salsa! Perfect for sharing and savoring bites of summer.
