A simple wasabi sauce dresses up grilled tuna beautifully.  It’s quick and easy and makes an otherwise unadorned tuna steak special.  Since I started adding avocado to my wasabi sauce, I love it ten times more and always find delicious new ways to use any leftovers. (And I no longer wait for just tuna to make it!)  What’s more, this speedy sauce has been a hit with company and even my kids.

Spoon over Asian Tomato Grilled Tuna (recipe coming soon) or any other fish you like.  I also loved it mashed into a baked potato or stirred into rice.  Come to think of it, I think it would be pretty fabulous on steak or grilled chicken.  (Can you tell I like this one?)  It is a rather healthy recipe, although you wouldn’t guess it by the creaminess and flavor.

Avocado Wasabi Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/2 a ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use Chobani non-fat for this)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi powder (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve the wasabi powder in the lime juice.  Scoop the avocado out of the shell and into the bowl.  Mash well.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir until completely blended.  Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Will keep several days stored, covered, in the fridge.  This recipe yields about one cup of sauce and may be doubled easily.

  1. I saw this on Pinterest and finally made it last night…easy and DELICIOUS! We used it on grilled salmon but I can imagine it on so many things.

    1. So glad you enjoyed!

  2. […] grain roll for a “meaty” veggie burger. I also make an Avocado Wasabi Sauce (click here for recipe) that tops off this hearty sandwich […]

  3. I have to say, I’ve never had wasabi outside of a Japanese Restaurant but you are making me want to change my ways. Going to have to get some and give this recipe a try, thanks for sharing!

    1. Thanks, Joan! If you make the wasabi, try mashing some of it into a baked potato instead of butter. It’s yummy!

    This looks absolutely delicious! I’ve recently discovered how much I love the flavor of wasabi. I’m looking forward to trying this recipe.

    1. It was one of those experiments that really worked and another reason for me to keep avocados on hand! Hope you enjoy it!
