Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium (sliced) Cucumber
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium (sliced) Avocado
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by patting the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel.
Rub both sides of the tuna steaks with avocado oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Remove tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the tuna rests, prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder to create a dressing.
Add the dressing to the salad and toss everything until the ingredients are well-coated.
Slice the rested tuna steaks thinly and arrange them on top of the salad.
Serve immediately, allowing the freshness of the salad and the rich flavor of the tuna to shine.
