Filling:

Method

1. In a bowl, mix together lime juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, coconut nectar, minced ginger, and salt. Set aside.

2. Chop the cucumber, carrot, and red onion, and place them in a bowl with half of the sauce mixture. Set aside to marinate.

3. Cut the avocado into cubes and place it in a separate bowl with the other half of the sauce mixture. Set aside to marinate.

4. Peel the remaining cucumber half and slice it into very thin pieces. Use a mandolin if available for ease.

5. Lightly grease the inside of a tall pastry ring with a little sesame oil, and place it on your serving dish.

6. Line the inside of the pastry ring with the thin cucumber slices, covering the sides.

7. Start layering inside the pastry ring: first, a small amount of arugula microgreens, followed by the marinated vegetable mixture, and then a layer of marinated avocado.

8. Once all the layers are added, carefully lift the pastry ring, gently pressing the cucumber against the layers as you remove the ring to form a cucumber-wrapped tartar.

9. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy.
