This Ahi Tuna Salad recipe takes a classic dish and turns it into a perfect Paleo salad with a few little tweaks.

When making ahi tuna, it’s important not to overcook the fish. You’ll only want to sear the tuna about a minute per side, tops.

A simple dressing of lime juice, coconut aminos, olive oil, wasabi powder, salt and pepper really makes this dish shine.

Serve over a bed of lettuce, and enjoy!
