Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil plus more for the grill
1 pound fresh ahi tuna about 1 inch (25-mm) thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup spiced pepitas
1 container (5 oz) blackberries
¼ cup lemon thyme vinaigrette

Instructions

Preheat the grill for medium heat (400°F). Lightly oil the grill grate.
Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the tuna over direct heat, flipping once, until seared to the desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Let the tuna rest for a couple of minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Assemble the salads on plates or in bowls with a base of mixed greens topped with spiced pepitas, blackberries, sliced tuna, and a drizzle of lemon thyme vinaigrette.

Notes

- Get ahead--Make your lemon thyme vinaigrette and your spiced pepitas ahead of time.

- Choose the best fish--Use the freshest tuna you can find and take care not to overcook it as the tuna can become dry.

- Assemble at the last minute--Keep everything separate until just before serving as the dressing will cause the greens to wilt.

- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
