• 1 medium carrot
• 1 daikon (Japanese radish)
• 12 ounces cold tuna steak, cut into 12 thin slices
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
• 1 teaspoon wasabi (Japanese horseradish)
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 hothouse cucumber, peeled
• 1 ripe avocado
• 12 ounces mixed baby greens (such as arugula and baby red oak leaf)

1. With a potato peeler, peel the carrot and daikon, then peel 20 thin carrot strips and 20 thin daikon strips.
2. Place the strips in ice water and refrigerate.
3. Arrange the tuna slices in a shallow, nonreactive pan or in a Ziploc bag.
4. In a measuring cup, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, mustard, wasabi, and salt and pepper.
5. Pour half of the mixture over the fish and reserve the rest.
6. Cover the fish and refrigerate no more than 30 minutes or the marinade will begin to cook the fish like seviche.
