Serves: 1
Ingredients
5 oz sushi grade Ahi Tuna
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground coriander
dash of salt/pepper
non-stick olive oil spray
2 oz thinly sliced avocado
½ cup cilantro
1 tbsp prepared fresh salsa (preferably the kind in the refrigerated section)
1 clove garlic
juice of ½ lime
1 tsp stevia
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups mixed greens lettuce
¼ cup sprouts (optional)
Instructions
Mix together chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and salt/pepper in a bowl.
Sprinkle over the tuna steak and pat the spices to make a nice coating over the whole tuna, make sure to coat all sides and edges.
Heat a non-stick pan at medium to high heat, and grease lightly with olive oil spray (or olive oil).
Sear the tuna on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The outside should be just cooked while the inside is still raw.
Once cooked on all sides, set the tuna aside, or in the fridge to chill.
For the dressing - place the cilantro, salsa, lime juice, garlic clove, olive oil, and stevia in a food processor or blender, and pulse until you get a dressing consistency.
Assemble the salad. Place the lettuce and sprouts on a plate. Slice the tuna into thin slices and layer with the avocado over the lettuce. Pour the dressing over the tuna and avocado.
