Vegan and Gluten-Free Watermelon Tuna Stacks

Vegan and Gluten-Free Watermelon Tuna Stacks happens to be the coolest recipe that i have made all summer. i’m so thrilled with how delicious these turned out!

from the taste, texture and presentation, everything is perfect!

it may seem like this is all fancy and gourmet, but i assure you, it is not. in fact, Vegan and Gluten-Free Watermelon Tuna Stacks are really easy to make.

you cook some sushi rice, assemble the watermelon tuna, mash avocados, cut up some cucumbers and stick everything in a measuring cup!

sounds easy enough right? promise, if i can do this successfully, you can too.

the watermelon tuna is the coolest part. you cut fresh watermelon into small cubes and then mix in some yummy ingredients.

while i used thick coconut yogurt (brand cocojune), you can use vegan mayo too.

then, i added some rice vinegar, liquid aminos and sriracha. the watermelon tuna mixture will produce some extra liquid, so just be sure to drain it before placing in the measuring cup.

it’s totally ok if the watermelon tuna runs a teeny bit, mine did!

while watermelon might sound like an odd choice, trust me, it completely works with all of the flavors. you won’t miss tuna one bit.

if you just can’t get on board with watermelon, my other suggestion would be to use tofu. you can use it raw, bake it in the oven or pan fry.
