Chilli Lime Tuna Steak Salad

Instructions

For Dressing: Place onion and vinegar in small bowl. Gradually whisk in both oils in thin steady stream. Add salt and pepper.

For Salad: Cook all beans in large pot of boiling, salted water until crisp- tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Refresh with cold water, drain, and pat dry.

Prepare barbecue (high heat) or preheat broiler. Combine beans, fennel, watercress, Radicchio, and olives in large bowl. Brush 2 tablespoons dressing over one side of tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper. Grill seasoned side down 2 minutes. Brush fish with 2 more tablespoons dressing; season with salt and pepper. Turn steaks and cook to desired doneness, 2 minutes for medium rare. Cut into fourths.

Add remaining dressing to salad and toss. Adjust seasoning. Divide among 4 large plates. Top each with 2 tuna pieces. Garnish with chives and serve.
