1
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Season the Ahi tuna steak with salt and pepper. Coat the sides with crushed cashews. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
2
Prepare the Wontons
In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry wonton wrappers until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine grated carrots, chopped scallions, and cilantro. Add sliced Ahi tuna on top of the salad and sprinkle with banana chips.
4
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the banana-ginger vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with crispy wontons before serving.
