Instructions
Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce and vinegar in a medium bowl.
Add carrot and cucumber; toss. Cover and chill 1 hour. Toss.
Drain; set vegetables aside.
Combine mayonnaise, wasabi, and juice in a small bowl, stirring well.
Cut each bread slice into a 3-inch circle using a round cutter; reserve scraps for another use (such as breadcrumbs or croutons). Lightly coat both sides of bread rounds with cooking spray.
Place bread rounds on a baking sheet in a single layer; broil 2 minutes on each side or until toasted. Cool on a wire rack.
Combine remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chives, chile paste, and tuna in a large bowl; gently mix until blended.
Spread about 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread round; top each with 1 lettuce leaf. Divide tuna mixture evenly among sliders, mounding about 2 tablespoons on each.
Cut each avocado half into 8 slices.
Place 2 avocado slices, 2 cucumber slices, and 2 carrot slices on each slider. Top each slider with remaining bread round, mayonnaise-coated side down.
Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are great choices for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine.
Maddalena Merlot offers aromas of ripe fruit and oak spice with hints of vanilla and anise. Ripe fruit flavors include bright plum and raspberry. Fruit flavors greet the palate and soft tannins frame the fresh texture that coats the mouth.
