Instructions
- Finely slice the fennel and place it in a bowl of iced water to crisp up. Drain and spin in a lettuce spinner or with a tea towel.
- You can either slice your tuna raw if it is sushi grade and very fresh, or brush lightly with olive oil and sear on each side for a minute or so. It should still be pink on the inside. Slive into small thin strips against the grain.
- Peel and cut segments out of the orange or slice them thinly.
- Just before you are about to serve the salad, assemble it. Spread the fennel on a platter. Top with the oranges, sliced avocado and tuna slices.
