Preparation of the Greens

Begin by washing and drying the green leaf lettuce and mixed greens. Tear or cut the lettuce into bite-size pieces if necessary and place them in a large salad bowl.

Seared Tuna Preparation

Season the tuna slices with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna slices for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Let them cool slightly before slicing them into thin strips.

Salad Assembly

Add the cubed avocado and bocconcini cheese to the greens in the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the salad for dressing. Then, gently toss the salad to mix the ingredients. Top the salad with the seared tuna strips and sprinkle sesame seeds over everything.
