Tuna Salad for Grown-ups Recipe

Tuna Salad for Grown-ups Recipe

  • 2 (8 ounce) fresh yellowfin or ahi tuna fillets
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 3/4 cups grape tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup whole pitted black or kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  1. Sear the tuna in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat (1 minute per side), seasoning each side with a pinch of salt and pepper as the other side cooks. Remove the tuna from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and roasted red pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, thyme, and garlic until well blended.
  4. Cut the tuna into 1/2-inch-thick slices (it should be raw inside). Divide the salad onto two plates and top with the tuna and dressing.
