Introduction

The asian style marinade is also the dressing. Used to marinate the tuna steak then also dressed the salad and the salsa before serving. This can be great with salmon or even chicken as well.

Directions

Place grill pan under broiler on hi (I don't have a bbq at home so it's the next best thing!)

For Marinade/Dressing:

In a separate bowl combine avocado and cilantro and set aside.

Remove from pan immediately and place on cutting board.
Cut steaks into thik slices.

To serve:
Toss the salad with the unused marinade/dressing and mix well. Leave a little bit of the dressing to mix with the avocado, cilantro.
