1 lb sushi-grade Albacore tuna loin, cubed
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 medium tomato or 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 mango, diced

salt and pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients
Avocado
Cucumber
Corn
Marinate the Tuna
Place cubed tuna in a bowl and add lime and lemon juice. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 20 minutes, longer "cook time" results in more melded flavor.
Add Vegetables
Add the red onion, mango, cilantro, and chili pepper (if desired).
Season and Serve
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Serve chilled with whole grain tortilla chips or lettuce leaves.
