Like other reviewers have said, this is a quick and easy recipe. You would actually have to try to mess this one up. The Japanese salsa is a great dressing and next time I make this, I plan to serve it over a salad.

My family loves this recipe. I coat the tuna with sesame seeds before searing to add a little "tombo" to the recipe. As with other salsas, garden grown tomatoes are best.
