GRILLED TUNA AND WATERCRESS SALAD WITH ASIAN FLAVORS



Grilled Tuna and Watercress Salad with Asian Flavors image

Searing the tuna well on the outside but leaving it rare on the inside gives you a lovely contrast between the two textures. That said, if you like your tuna cooked through, the salad will still be delicious.
