Provided by Chef John

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

ASIAN AHI TUNA SALAD RECIPE - (5/5)



Asian Ahi Tuna Salad Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by Stacy_K

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Ahi tuna steaks
2 avocados, cubed and mixed with juice of a lime
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
2 cups spinach
2 cups mixed baby greens
ASIAN DRESSING
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Mix all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor except the sesame seeds and green onion. Then stir in the seeds and onion. Drizzle some of the dressing on both sides of the tuna. Sear the tuna over high heat on each side. Mix salad greens, spinach, green onion, avocado, and almonds with desired amount of dressing (you can refrigerate extra dressing for about a week). Plate the salad. Slice the tuna and place on top of the salad. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach, ahi tuna, and avocado will give your salad the best flavor.
  • Choose high-quality ahi tuna. Look for sushi-grade tuna that is deep red in color and has a firm texture.
  • Sear the ahi tuna properly. Sear the tuna in a hot skillet for just a few minutes per side. This will give the tuna a nice crust and keep it from becoming overcooked.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad. When you're assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with ahi tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's also low in calories and fat. If you're looking for a healthy and satisfying salad, spinach salad with ahi tuna is a great option.
