Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the tuna steaks with avocado oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Step 4

Remove tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 5

While the tuna rests, prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder to create a dressing.

Step 7

Add the dressing to the salad and toss everything until the ingredients are well-coated.

Step 8

Slice the rested tuna steaks thinly and arrange them on top of the salad.

Step 9

Serve immediately, allowing the freshness of the salad and the rich flavor of the tuna to shine.
