There is nothing better on a hot summers day than chowing down on a cool, crisp, refreshing salad. Top that salad off with some amazingly fresh Ahi Tuna that’s seared to perfection and…hmmm…maybe it can get better. 😉

The combinations of flavors and textures of this Ahi tuna salad is what makes my mouth water every time I eat this. It’s super light and perfect for anyone who is watching their weight. I’m a big fan of making healthy dishes with big bold flavors because there’s nothing worse than bland food!

If you’ve never tried Ahi before than give it a go, it’s actually super easy to make and only takes a minute. Literally. A minute on each side in a searing hot pan and dinner is served. My secret ingredient for it is a very light dusting of an all purpose grillers seasoning to give it a little oomph, but for salt and pepper will work just fine on its own.  🙂
