- 2 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly on both sides of the tuna steaks and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness (rare to medium). Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
In a large salad bowl, combine baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Divide the salad onto two plates and top each with a grilled tuna steak.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, healthy meal!
