Ahi Tuna Salad

Ahi Tuna Salad

Posted by admin on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 0

One of my favorite starters to order at a restaurant, aside from the cheese plate, is the tuna tartare.  To satisfy the craving at home, I make something similar once in awhile.  This recipe does call for a couple of unique ingredients you may not necessarily have on hand, but you can pick them up at most grocery stores.

Ingredients

• Ahi tuna
• Tomato
• Avocado
• Scallions
• Spicy mayo (I get it from the sushi counter at my store- it's about $1.00 for a small cup)
• Wasabi paste- comes in a tube
• Black sesame seeds

I sear the tuna in a skillet over medium high heat for about two minutes per side and them remove and let rest while I dice the tomato and avocado.  Add in a bit of chopped scallion, the spicy mayo and wasabi paste to taste and sprinkle with the black sesame seeds.  

Are you into sushi or not so much?  I know people love it or hate it.  I'm definitely in the love category!
