Ingredients

• 2 pieces Fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens

• 1 medium, sliced Cucumber
• 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1 medium, diced Avocado
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they have a nice golden crust on the outside while remaining rare in the center. Remove from the heat and let them rest.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and diced avocado.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt to create the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Slice the seared tuna steaks into thin pieces and arrange them over the salad.

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free seared tuna salad.
