Wheat-Free & Gluten-Free Recipe - Fresh Tuna Salad

Method :

  1. Wash the salad leaves and place in a large salad bowl with the cherry tomatoes and rocket and reserve.

  2. Heat the wok, then add the oil and heat until almost smoking. Add the tuna, skin-side down, and cook for 4-6 minutes, turning once during cooking, or until cooked and the flesh flakes easily. Remove from the heat and leave to stand in the juices for 2 minutes before removing.

  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Place the olive oil, lemon zest and juices and mustard in a small bowl or screw-top jar and whisk or shake until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. Transfer the tuna to a clean chopping board and flake, then add it to the salad and toss lightly.

  5. Using a swivel blade vegetable peeler, peel the piece of Parmesan cheese into shavings. Divide the salad between four large serving plates, drizzle the dressing over the salad, then scatter with the Parmesan shavings.
