Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Tuna
Season the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced avocado.
Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Assemble the Salad
Slice the seared tuna into thin strips. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with sliced tuna and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
