Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 large handful fresh Asian leaves (rocket or mizuna)
• 14–16 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small mango, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 100g fine green beans
• 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped (optional)
• 2 medium sushi-grade tuna steaks
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Dressing

• 75ml extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 handful fresh coriander
• 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Make the Dressing

   • Blitz the olive oil, lime juice, coriander, garlic, jalapeno, and maple syrup in a high-powered blender for 20–30 seconds. Pour into a jar and refrigerate.

2. Prepare the Salad

   • Add the fresh Asian leaves to two separate salad bowls. Toss in the diced mango and halved cherry tomatoes.

3. Sauté the Green Beans

   • Heat half the coconut oil in a frying pan. Add the red onion (if using) and green beans. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then divide the mixture between the two salad bowls.

4. Cook the Tuna

   • Return the pan to high heat with the remaining coconut oil. Add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1 minute on each side, leaving them rare in the middle. Transfer the steaks to a chopping board and slice them.

5. Assemble the Salad

   • Add the tuna slices to the salad bowls. Drizzle with a little of the prepared dressing.
