This recipe is really good! The pear salsa compliments the tuna steak very well! I would recommend dicing the pear into very small pieces. When I made the dish, my pear pieces were a bit large and made the salsa a bit awkward to eat. Anyway, the dish is low in calories, and high in protein and taste! Try it!
