Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix.

Ahi Tuna Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Ahi Tuna

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the ahi tuna steaks, turning to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Ahi Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 4

    Slice the Ahi Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, slice the seared ahi tuna into thin strips.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Place the sliced ahi tuna on top of the salad base. Drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle black sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top. Toss gently and serve immediately.
