If lemongrass is not available, you can add a teaspoon of finely grated lime zest to the vinaigrette instead. The flavour won’t be quite the same, but it will still be delicious. Serving the sliced tuna over a bed of baby greens and avocado means both the greens and fish get to soak up the tangy, tasty vinaigrette, combining the entrée and salad into one hearty meal.
