Instructions

  1. Quinoa Preparation: Cook the quinoa as per the package instructions, and set it aside to cool down. Once cooled, fluff it with a fork and set aside.

  3. Prepare the Avocado and Cucumber: In a small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Dice the cucumber into small cubes and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Towers: Using a food ring or a small cup, start by layering the ingredients to form a tower. Begin with a layer of quinoa, pressing down gently to compact it. Add a layer of diced cucumber, followed by a layer of the tuna mixture. Top with the mashed avocado. Carefully remove the food ring or cup to reveal the stack.
  5. Drizzle with Soy Sauce: Lightly drizzle the reduced-sodium soy sauce over the assembled towers for an extra burst of flavor.
