Servings: 4

Tuna
Ingredients
2 large tuna steaks (you can cut these in half to create 4 portions- tuna can be expensive so try to buy it on sale!)
sesame seeds
1 pineapple
4-5 plum tomatoes
red onion
cilantro
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/2 lime
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

1. Season the tuna steaks with sesame seeds and place on the grill. Cook 3-4 minutes per side (for rarer tuna cook less, for more well done cook longer).
2. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and place in a bowl.
3. Cut up pineapple into small chunks and place into bowl with tomatoes.
4. Add in chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, garlic, lime juice and olive oil. Stir to combine and place in refrigerator to cool.
