Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I love beautiful, colorful salads with a healthy dose of protein to make a perfect meal. This is one of my favorites. The salad has a just-cooked tuna steak plopped on top. I like my tuna steaks medium-rare, but you can cook yours as much or as little as you wish. I place the tuna onto the salad shortly after cooking to allow the juices from the warm tuna to flow down into the veggie mixture. Double or triple the recipe for your family and serve it up with a warm, toasty baguette to make it a meal.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This salad is better than anything you'll find at a restaurant. It's ridiculously good. We grilled the tuna steak for about 5 minutes per side. We loved the flavor and texture the bell pepper gives the salad. The avocado blended with the tuna is a fantastic combination. Fresh Parmesan sprinkled on top adds saltiness and is the perfect last touch. This salad is hearty enough for a delicious meal and comes together in under 20 minutes.
