1. For the pickles:
2. Place sliced radishes and carrots in a jar. Combine water and remaining ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a simmer and pour into jar with the vegetables. Allow to cool slightly, seal and transfer to the fridge. Chill for a couple hours until completely cooled, or up to overnight.
3. For the dressing:
4. In a food processor, puree together mango and chili. Strain through a sieve to remove any fibrous pulp. Return to food processor or a blender. Add lime juice and vinegar and pulse to combine. Slowly stream in oils, while machine is running. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
5. For the tuna:
6. Heat a large nonstick pan to medium-high heat. Coat tuna steak lightly with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Combine sesame seeds. Press seeds on each side of the tuna.
7. Coat pan lightly with oil. Add tuna to the pan and sear about 40-60 seconds each side or until seeds are lightly toasted and tuna remains raw in the center. You may also sear the sides of the tuna. Allow to rest while assembling the salad.
8. For the salad:
9. On a large plate, combine lettuces and cilantro. Arrange pickles, cucumbers and avocado on top. Slice tuna thinly against the grain, and add to salad. Squeeze lime directly over tuna. Drizzle salad with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy.
