Tuna Tartare with Citrus Aioli and Caviar

Tuna Tartare with Citrus Aioli and Caviar served on crostini with citrus aioli and topped with caviar. Beginning with sushi grade ahi tuna, this easy appetizer gets flavor from lemon, lime, green onion, fresh garlic, capers, and fresh cilantro.

While an aioli can simply be made from scratch using olive oil, make it easy on yourself and your waistline by mixing reduced fat mayonnaise with a bit of cayenne pepper and a splash of lemon juice. To really wow your tastebuds, this appetizer is topped with a small dollop of lumpfish caviar which has a natural salty taste to round out the dish.

If bread is not on your #SOBikini menu, serve this crowd pleasing appetizer on endive leaves. Not only are endive leaves low in calories and fat, they make for a beautiful presentation when served at a party.
