Ingredients
- 2 tuna steaks 300g
- 2 1/2 cups tomatoes cut in half (300g)
- 1/2 red onion finely sliced
- 1 cup cucumber finely sliced (150g)
- 1 cup olives mixed (150g)
- 7 oz Ciabatta bread cut into cubes (200g)
- 1 tbsp parmesan freshly grated
- 1 tbso fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 5 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400F/200C. Place the cubed ciabatta bread on a baking sheet and spinkle with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes until crisp.
- Drizzle the tuna steak in around 1 tsp of olive oil just to lightly coat and spinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a hot griddle pan for 2 minutes each side, it should still be pink in the middle. Remove and cut into slices.
- Place the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, olives, basil and parsley in a large bowl then add the croutons and slices of tuna.
- Whisk the olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl then pour over the salad ingredients, toss the salad to combine. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes then serve.
Notes
- Make sure to use the freshest tuna possible and from a sustainable source
- If you can't get ahold of tuna steaks you can use canned tuna
- I like to let the salad sit for a few minutes so the dressing soaks into the croutons and all the flavours get a chance to develop
- Make sure to cut the onion as thin as possible so you don't get a pungent onion taste
- You can store this salad in the fridge for up to 2 days
