Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh tuna steaks
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Grill the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.

Step 4

While the tuna rests, prepare the salad base. Rinse and chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber, and finely slice the red onion. Add these, along with the Kalamata olives, to the salad bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Toss the salad with the dressing until evenly coated. Add the crumbled feta cheese and gently toss again.

Step 8

Top the salad with the sliced grilled tuna and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Tuna Salad Santorini!
