HERE’S WHAT YOU DO...

  1. Pre-prep: Combine all aioli ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth. Pour aioli into a glass bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate for about one hour.
  2. Remove tuna fillets from jar, leaving the EVOO and condiments. Squeeze in juice of one lime. Salt and pepper to taste. Close jar and shake until incorporated. Pour about 2/3 of lime vinaigrette over arugula and toss to lightly coat.
  3. Butter your slider buns and toast on a pan or griddle until golden brown.
  4. Generously spread aioli on buns, layer on tuna fillets. Drizzle or brush on remaining lime vinaigrette over fillets, top with pickled onions, carrots, and/or beets, and arugula salad. Serve.
