Tropical Tuna Salad Supper image

Recipe from Rachael Ray magazine (from this summer). WOW was this a fun and tasty dinner. . .so different from the usual meat and potatoes! Do NOT skip the oranges or mango (actually I had to skip the mango due to an allergy) because the sweet really pulls this dish together. I actually added a few fresh squeezes of orange juice to the dressing and would do that again. I also just seared my small tuna steaks whole and then sliced them to assure they stayed rare. YUMMO! This is so pretty on the plate!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning to really bring out the flavors.

This tuna salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less pineapple and coconut.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The pineapple and coconut add a sweetness that perfectly complements the tuna. I'll definitely be making this again!
