Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons chopped shallots, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 pound tuna steaks (1 inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens
  • 1 cup cut fresh thin asparagus (1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 3 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cut tuna steaks into quarters; add to bag. Seal and turn to coat; marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for dressing, combine the vinegar, mustard, sugar, and remaining shallots, salt and pepper in a small bowl; slowly whisk in remaining oil. Set aside.
