Dressed-Up Tuna Salad Recipe

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 3 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cut tuna steaks into quarters; add to bag. Seal and turn to coat; marinate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, for dressing, combine the vinegar, mustard, sugar, and remaining shallots, salt and pepper in a small bowl; slowly whisk in remaining oil. Set aside. Drain and discard marinade. In a large nonstick skillet, cook tuna over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center. On individual salad plates, arrange the greens, asparagus and tomatoes. Top with flaked tuna; drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with chives. Yield: 4 servings.
