Seared Tuna with Creamy Garlic Veggie Salad

Serving: This dish is best served immediately while the tuna is still warm and the salad is fresh.

Storage: If you have leftovers, store the components separately. The salad can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, while the tuna and creamy garlic sauce should be consumed within 1-2 days for best freshness.

Variations:
Tuna Alternatives: If you don’t have tuna steaks, try searing salmon or another firm fish fillet as a substitute.

Veggies: Add other salad vegetables like bell peppers, red onions, or avocado for more texture and flavor.

Vegan Option: Replace the tuna with a plant-based protein (e.g., tofu) and use dairy-free cream for the sauce.

FAQ:
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the salad and vinaigrette ahead of time, but it’s best to add the creamy sauce and tuna just before serving.

How do I know when the tuna is cooked to my liking?
For rare tuna, sear it for about 1-2 minutes per side. For medium, cook it for 3-4 minutes per side, and for well-done, increase the cooking time further.
