Ingredients:


4 fillets tuna steaks (about 5 ounces each)

5 teaspoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

4 medium new potatoes -- cooked slightly cooled

4 cups mesclun or mixed green lettuce leaves

1/2 cup basil-garlic vinaigrette -- to taste

2 small avocados peeled cut into quarters

2 medium tomatoes -- cut into quarters

2 tablespoons nicoise olives -- pitted

2 tablespoons capers -- drained
 

Preparation / Directions:


Prepare a wood or charcoal fire and let it burn down to embers. Brush the tuna steaks with 4 teaspoons of the olive oil, season to taste with salt and pepper, and grill to desired doneness, 2 minutes on each side for medium rare. Brush the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of oil, and grill about 2 minutes, turning. When done, slice thick. Dress the greens with about half of the vinaigrette and toss gently with the avocados, tomatoes, olives and potatoes. For each serving, place 1 tuna steak on a large plate and drizzle with a little vinaigrette. Arrange the salad around the tuna, giving each plate an equal portion of avocados, tomatoes, potatoes, and olives. Sprinkle with capers and serve.
