1 ripe avocado, diced
2 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
2 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Marinate the Tuna: Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Seared Tuna: Remove the tuna from the marinade and sear each side for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and radishes. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine Everything: Slice the seared tuna against the grain into thin strips and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
