Spicy Tuna Crunch Salad
Lively cracked black pepper peps up seared tuna while, crispy cucumber, carrot and radish cool down this salad. This salad is bursting with lettuces and veggies in the crunchy DOLE® Chopped Sesame Asian Kit. A garnish of wonton strips and sliced almonds completes this tasty dish.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon table salt
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 DOLE® Carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 DOLE Radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 6 oz. to 8 oz. yellow fin tuna, skinless, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 1 to 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- 1 pkg. (13.3 oz.) DOLE® Chopped Sesame Asian Salad Kit
Directions
- Combine cucumber, carrot, radish and salt in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Return to bowl; add the sugar and vinegar. Let stand while continuing with the remaining recipe or prepare up to 1 day in advance. Drain before serving.
- Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Press both sides of tuna into cracked black pepper. Sear one minute on each side. Using tongs, lift gently to sear all edges; tuna will be rare. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
- Toss salad with dressing. Divide between plates. Top with won ton strips and almonds from packet and sliced tuna. Garnish with pickled vegetables.
