INGREDIENTS
5 oz Fresh Tuna Steak
1 Whole Wheat Pita Pocket
1 cup Mixed Greens
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Diced Cucumber
1/4 portion Avocado
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the tuna steak dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and quickly sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side to achieve a light crust while keeping the center rare. Remove from heat and allow it to rest.
In a bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Slice the seared tuna into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl along with diced avocado.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
Warm the whole wheat pita slightly in a dry skillet or microwave. Then, carefully stuff the pita pockets with the tuna salad mixture.
Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant meal that combines tender seared tuna with a medley of crisp greens and zesty flavors.
