  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce and spinach. Top with sautéed mushrooms, pickled red onions, and crumbled caprino cheese.

  4. 4

    Slice the Tuna

    Slice the seared Ahi tuna into thin strips and arrange them on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Drizzle Balsamic Glaze

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled salad.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad with sesame ginger dressing on the side for drizzling.
