- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons toasted almond slivers, chopped

In a medium stainless mixing bowl combine the diced tuna, coconut, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, almonds, currants, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Peel and halve the avocados and remove the pits. Give them a rough chop and place them in a small stainless mixing bowl. Add the remaining lime juice, cayenne, cumin, paprika, and olive oil. Mash the seasoned avocado with a sturdy whisk until creamy in texture and season with salt and pepper.

I made this for a small get-together with the girls. Everybody loved it! Next time I'll have to double the recipe.
