- 4 Ahi Tuna filets (1/2 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup Cajun spice (i.e. Louisiana Cajun Seasoning or the like)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pineapple, cut into small bite size pieces
- 1/2 cup vinaigrette dressing, any kind
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 orange cut into small bite size pieces
- 1/2 cup candied walnuts
Season the tuna with Cajun spice on both sides. Bring a large frying pan up to high heat and sear the tuna on each side for 30 seconds on each side or until the spice turns black. Cut into 6-8 slices. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, pepper and pineapple. Add enough dressing to toss thoroughly. To serve, place some of the greens mixture on each plate, add 1 piece of tune (sliced) per plate. Add some of the avocado, orange and candied walnuts on top of each serving.
