Deconstructed Sushi

deconstructed sushi

Since I have gone grain-free, I miss my weekly sushi. Three of us go out every week for “Sushi Thursday” and now I no longer order sushi because of the glutenous rice. It doesn’t spoil the fun of the three amigas luncheon but I don’t get my sushi “fix.” My husband decided to help me through my sushi craving by creating a “deconstructed sushi” with Ahi tuna, leafy green lettuce instead of rice and the usual fixings for sushi. It probably looks closer to a sushi salad but having my Ahi tuna and avocado made things a little bit better.
