Ingredients
- 3/4 lb small red potatoes, diced (350 g)
- 1/2 lb green beans, trimmed (250 g)
- 4 tuna steaks ( 4 oz/125 g each, about 3/4-inch thick)
- Canola oil cooking spray
- 4 cups (2 oz/57 g) baby spinach leaves (1 L)
- 16 pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
Vinaigrette Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar (30 mL)
- 1 Tbsp water (15 mL)
- 1/8 tsp salt (.5 mL)
- 1/2 medium clove garlic, minced 1/2
- 1/8 tsp dried red pepper flakes (.5 mL)
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano leaves (15 mL)
Salad Ingredients:
Directions
- Steam potatoes and green beans 6 minutes or just until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, shaking off excess liquid.
- While vegetables cook, combine vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar, secure with lid, and shake well to blend completely. Set aside 1/4 cup (60 ml) vinaigrette and brush remaining vinaigrette (1 Tbsp/15 mL) over fish.
- Coat a grill pan with canola oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Grill tuna over high heat 3 minutes on each side or until medium-rare or desired degree of doneness. (Do not overcook or fish will be tough.)
- Divide greens equally on four serving plates. Arrange potatoes, green beans, and olives over greens. Drizzle 1 Tbsp (15 mL) vinaigrette evenly over each salad and top with tuna.
