  • 20 gram curly endive (frisee lettuce)
  • 1/2 baby fennel bulb (65g), sliced thinly
  • 1/2 lebanese cucumber (65g), cut into ribbons
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Wasabi dressing

    Heat a lightly oiled small frying pan over high heat; cook tuna for 1 minute each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate; cool. Cover; refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, combine cabbage, lettuce, fennel and cucumber in a small bowl.

    Make wasabi dressing: Combine ingredients in a screw-top jar; shake well.

    Slice tuna thickly; arrange over salad. Drizzle with dressing; serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Notes

Use a mandoline or V-slicer to cut the fennel thinly. Curly endive is a feather leaf lettuce with a strong flavour; substitute with baby rocket leaves (arugula).
