How to Make Colorful Chopped Salad With Oil Cured Tuna

  1. Prepare the oil-cured tuna: If using store-bought, skip to step 3. Otherwise, combine 1 (6 ounce) tuna steak, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Chop the vegetables: Finely chop 5 oz radicchio, 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, romaine), 2 medium tomatoes, and 1/2 cup red onion.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables. Add the marinated tuna (reserving some marinade if desired).
  5. Dress and serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired.
