Serving Size: 2

INGREDIENTS
1 Cucumber
1 Yellow Pepper
1 Small box of Baby Spring Mix
2 Tbs Rice Vinegar
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
2 Tbs Sesame Oil
2 Tbs Grapeseed Oil (or any Vegetable Oil)
1 Tbs Water
1/4 Tsp Mustard Powder ( I didn't have any and sub Dijon)
1/4 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp Sugar
Pinch of Toasted White Sesame Seed
Pinch of Toasted Black Seasme Seed (You may want to use a better qualtiy Sesame Seed as the taste will come through better. I brought mine from South China Seas Trading Co. Granville Island $3.95/82g)

1lb Ahi Tuna Sashimi Grade ( Ava. at Granville Island make sure you ask if you can smell the fish before you buy. The Tuna should NOT smell fishy and the the colour should be deep red. $27.99/lb)
Sea Salt to Taste
Ground Black Pepper to Taste


DIRECTIONS
Slice Cucumber into thin slices and julienne Yellow Pepper

Salad Dressing: In a small bowl combine Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Water, Mustard, Black Pepper, Sugar and wisk for 10seconds. The oils and water should emulsify and come together as a sauce. Add a pinch of Toasted White and Black Sesame Seed.

In a large bowl, combine cucumber, yellow pepper baby mix greens and toss with the salad dressing.

Heat up the cast iron grill pan and coat with oil. (I got mine at Winners for $12.99, if you don't have one you can use a non-stick pan.) Portion Tuna into 1/2lb, season with sea salt and groud pepper before you put it on the grill. Make sure the grill is hot and grill for 1min on high. Turn tuna over and repeat for 1min. Grill the remining sides for 30seconds and take it off the grill.

You may grill the tuna longer depending on how rare you would like your tuna to be. I like mine rare so I did 1min each. You may increase to 2min each side at most otherwise your tuna will be fully cooked.

Slice the tuna with a sharp knife about 1/2inch thick.

Place the salad on a serving dish and top with the slices of tuna.

Enjoy!!
