Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice Noodles

    Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ahi Tuna

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the Ahi tuna fillets for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned on the outside but still rare in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, chopped asparagus, and sliced hearts of palm.

  4. 4

    Mix the Salad

    Add the cooked rice noodles to the vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil to create the ginger soy dressing.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    Drizzle the ginger soy dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Top with sliced Ahi tuna and sprinkle with chopped cashews.
