How to Make Raspberry Chili Tuna On Greens

**Prepare the Marinade:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup raspberry jam, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
**Marinate the Tuna:** Pour 1/4 cup of the raspberry chili marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks. Seal the bag, ensuring the tuna is fully coated. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, turning occasionally.
**Prepare the Salad:** While the tuna marinates, wash and chop 1 head of romaine lettuce, 1 medium carrot (julienned or shredded), and 1/2 cucumber (sliced or diced).
**Grill the Tuna:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Remove tuna from marinade and discard the marinade used for marinating. Grill tuna for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
**Make the Dressing:** Reserve the remaining raspberry chili marinade (about 1/4 cup) for the salad dressing.
**Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, carrot, and cucumber. Add 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments and 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds (or sunflower seeds).
**Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salad and gently toss to coat. Divide the salad among four plates and top each with a grilled tuna steak. Serve immediately and enjoy!
