Cook Time: 5 mins
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS
– 400g fresh tuna steaks
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Mixed salad greens
– 1 ripe mango, diced
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 1 red onion, thinly sliced
– Dressing: 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, salt, and pepper
METHOD
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, season the tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tuna steaks and rub it in to coat them evenly.
- Once the grill pan is hot, carefully place the tuna steaks on the pan. Sear them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare tuna, aim for about 1 minute per side. For well-done, cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the tuna is resting, prepare the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mango, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss everything together gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- To serve, divide the dressed salad among serving plates or bowls.
- Slice the rested tuna steaks thinly against the grain and arrange them on top of each salad.
- Garnish with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious tuna salad with mango and avocado!
