We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: To make the dressing: Toast the cumin seeds in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant (1 minute or so). Grind the seeds in a spice mill, then whisk with the remaining ingredients (-pepper).

  • Step 2: Broil, grill or flame-char the peppers until blackened on all sides. Place in a paper bag, close, and let steam for 15 minutes. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel them, remove the seeds, and slice into 1/2 inch strips OR use jarred roasted bell peppers, drained.

  • Step 3: In a large bowl toss the greens, tuna, peppers and avocados with the dressing. Sprinkle the salad with olives and serve.
