Seared Tuna with Mâche, Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

Tossed with buttery avocado and juicy ruby grapefruit, mâche—also known as lamb’s lettuce—makes a sweet bed for lean and meaty seared tuna. Long foraged and cultivated in France, mâche is growing in popularity in the United States, thanks to the efforts of California producers and chefs. It may look dainty, but it surpasses spinach in iron content.
