Seared Tuna with Ginger Wasabi Dressing

What's for Supper? When I walk into grocery store, I first check the meat and fish counters to see what is on sale before buying any vegetables.

You never know where your inspiration for supper will come from! This evening I picked up gorgeous Sashimi Tuna steaks on sale 2 for $8, circled back around to produce to pick up baby greens, fresh ginger, a lime and then grab a tube of wasabi paste and jar of sesame seeds.

I go to the market every other day to pick up just one or two days meals at a time. Its a throwback to when I lived in Mexico and didn't have a freezer. I learned that the entire world shops at the market each day for just a few items and I have done so ever since.

Note: This can easily be scaled to serve 4, 6 or even 8 for a lovely dinner party!
