I substituted olive oil for avocado oil in the tapenade vinaigrette and it turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tapenade vinaigrette didn't turn out right. It was too thick and oily.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna was overcooked. I think next time I'll reduce the cooking time.
