Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium, sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 medium, diced Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they have a nice golden crust on the outside while remaining rare in the center. Remove from the heat and let them rest.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and diced avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Slice the seared tuna steaks into thin pieces and arrange them over the salad.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free seared tuna salad.
