Ingredients

1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 sashimi-grade ahi tuna fillets (4 oz each)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cups loosely packed mixed salad greens
24 small mandarin orange segments
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (2 medium)
2 teaspoons sliced almonds

Steps:

In small bowl, beat all vinaigrette ingredients with wire whisk until well blended. Cover; refrigerate.
Lightly brush both sides of tuna fillets with oil; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook tuna over medium-high heat 1 minute on each side for rare doneness. Place on plate; refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes.
On cutting board, cut tuna diagonally into 1/4-inch slices.
On each of 4 plates, arrange 1 1/2 cups greens; top with 6 orange segments, 1 1/2 teaspoons onions and 1/2 teaspoon almonds. Arrange tuna on greens. Drizzle 3 tablespoons dressing over tuna and greens on each plate.
