Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a blender, combine the carrots, fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Seared Tuna

    Coat each tuna steak with sesame seeds on both sides. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if preferred. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and red cabbage. Toss gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the salad mixture and top with sliced seared tuna. Drizzle with carrot-ginger dressing before serving.
