Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and diced avocado. Toss gently to combine and set aside.

Ahi Tuna Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the tuna steaks.

  2. 3

    Sear the Ahi Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Let rest for a minute before slicing.

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
