Tuna Salad for Grown Ups


Something about the spring really makes me want fried, greasy, buttery goodness. But we can't! Or at least not all the time. Here is a great salad that I have whipped up more than once recently and I'm still not bored of it.

Tuna Salad for Adults
1 large salad (meant for a dinner)
4-6 oz Tuna Steak 1" Thick
1 Romaine Heart
1/2 Avocado
1 Carrot, peeled and diced
1/4 C Feta Cheese, crumbled (I have also substituted this for Queso Fresco)
Salad Dressing (recipe below)

Rip the romaine into bite-sized pieces into bowl. Scoop out bite sized bits of the avocado and arrange on top of salad. Sprinkle with the carrot and crumbled cheese.

In a SUPER hot skillet (preferably cast iron or just use a grill) sear the tuna. I like to eat mine rare, so about 2-3 mins per side is good enough for me. Sliced the warm tuna into strips and arrange over the salad. Drizzle salad dressing over everything and serve immediately.
