Since I am doing Weight Watchers at the moment, I am always on the lookout for light recipes. And even if you aren't dieting, this makes a lovely and very satisfying warm weather dinner or lunch. I am still getting the hang of grilling fresh tuna--I would have liked it to have been a bit more rare than you'll see in the pictures, but I'm getting there! This recipe can be adapted to include what you like in the salad--I had some edamame that I wanted to use up so I threw that in!
3 Tbsp low sodium soy
sauce
3 Tbsp rice wine
vinegar
2 Tbsp, fresh, minced
ginger root or paste from a jar
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp dark brown

2 tsp, toasted

1 pound tuna steak
4 cups mixed greens
2 cups halved grape

4 chopped scallions
Place tuna in a dish and pour remaining
soy sauce mixture over top of tuna.
Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to four hours.
Light grill and let heat to 350 to 400

Combine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and cucumber in a large serving bowl; drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with tuna; garnish with scallions.
An intrepid 1930s Manhattan socialite uncovers deadly secrets during
an assignment to the Hamptons in this riveting historical cozy mystery
for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.
Westhampton, 1938. To the dismay of her well-to-do family, Elizabeth
“Biz” Adams is quickly establishing herself as a seasoned photographer
over at the Daily Trumpet. Growing more confident in her decision
to pursue a career, Elizabeth is thrilled when she and her reporter
sidekick, Ralph Kaminsky, are sent to Long Island to cover the story of a
young maid found dead in one of the glamourous summer homes in the
devastating aftermath of the Great New England Hurricane—also known as
the Long Island Express.
At first it’s assumed that the
young woman was caught in the terrible storm, but when a suspicious
wound is found on the side of her head, the police suspect murder. The
maid’s death becomes even more tragic when it’s discovered she was
pregnant, and with Elizabeth and Kaminsky at the scene of the crime, the
Daily Trumpet scoops all the other papers in town.
My father used to love fresh tuna, although I never knew why (he grew up in New York State). I've rarely tried it, but our market does have it. Love the marinade!
