Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the yellowfin tuna with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is browned but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the bacon strips and cook until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine mesclun lettuce, crumbled bacon, herb-spiced pecans, pickled red onion, gorgonzola cheese, sliced green onions, halved hard-boiled eggs, kalamata olives, and grape tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the seared tuna into thin strips. Arrange the salad on a plate and top with the sliced tuna.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with citrus vinaigrette just before serving. Toss lightly to combine.
