What is Seared Ahi Tuna?
Ahi Tuna is another name for Yellowfin Tuna and its available at most grocery stores. This recipe calls for a lightly seared Ahi tuna which is only cooked for 2 minutes, 1 per side. The middle of the tuna steak is left raw. If that doesn’t sound tempting, you can always cook the tuna steak all the way through instead of having a seared Ahi tuna steak. It will just take a few more minutes to cook.
Since we are lightly searing the tuna for this recipe, buy frozen steaks. Set the steaks to thaw in the refrigerator for about an hour before cooking.

Healthy Seared Ahi Tuna with Snow Peas and Radishes
This recipe for Seared Ahi Tuna with Snow Peas and Radishes is based on a salad I had in Southern California at a regional restaurant called Lemonade. This restaurant focuses on fresh, simple food that exemplifies what healthy eating should be. Everything I had that day was SOO good that I bought their Lemonade Cookbook and brought it home. The original recipe called for Watermelon radishes and snap peas. Unfortunately, here in Oklahoma I wasn’t able to find those ingredients, so I substituted with snow peas and regular radishes. I changed up the dressing a little bit too. My version, shown below, is a cross between their original Ginger Vinaigrette and my Japanese Miso Carrot Dressing.
This recipe is simply amazing and I know you are going to enjoy healthy as much as I do with this Seared Ahi Tuna and Snow Peas salad. Enjoy!
