Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Coat the Ahi tuna with sesame seeds evenly on all sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the outside is golden brown but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, fresh cabbage, pickled red onions, edamame, and sliced scallions. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice it thinly and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Layer the sliced Ahi tuna over the salad base. Top with avocado slices and sprinkle wonton crisps on top.

  5. 5

    Serve with Dressing

    Drizzle toasted sesame dressing over the salad before serving. Enjoy!
