Salad
2 cups kale cut in 1" pieces
1/2 cup red cabbage, grated
1 cup roasted beets, cubed
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup pecan pieces, roasted
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1 cup baby spinach
Tuna
2 tuna steaks cut in sticks 1.5" thick
2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For the salad: Mix everything together, except the spinach, at least 15 minutes before serving and refrigerate. Add the spinach just before serving. For the tuna: Mix the spices together and coat all sides of the tuna liberally. Shake off excess. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tuna and sear all sides. This should only take 15-20 seconds per side. Remove immediately from the heat. Tuna will be cooked a little less than halfway through. Slice and serve with salad. Yield: 4 servings
