Ingredients

  • A handful of arugula washed and dried
  • 1 blood orange thickly sliced
  • ½ avocado thickly sliced
  • 1 can of tuna belly ventresca de atún, or the best quality canned tuna you can find. The recipe would also work with fresh seared tuna.
  • About 10 pistachios shelled and crushed
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  • Arrange a line of the arugula in the center of your serving dish.
  • Place the blood orange and avocado slices over the arugula.
  • Place slivers of the tuna belly (or small chunks or slices of regular tuna) over the top of the salad.
  • Sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top (to crush, put the shelled pistachios in a plastic bag and whack a few times with the flat end of a meat tenderizer).
  • Drizzle with your best extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Tip: If not eating immediately drizzle with some blood orange juice so that the avocado doesn't turn brown so quickly.
