# Top Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required—the only heat is from a dash of sriracha if you want it.
  • It’s endlessly adaptable and a secret weapon for nights when groceries feel scarce.
02 -
  • If you skip tossing the tuna in dressing first, it can taste flat no matter how good the sauce is.
  • I once added warm rice—never again; wait until it cools for the perfect bowl.
03 -
  • If your avocado isn’t quite ripe, let it sit with a splash of lime—it softens and adds tang.
  • Chill your serving bowls ahead of time for a fresher, crisper bowl experience.
