Wowsa! This was such a fun and delicious recipe! I did end up over-cooking my tuna, but my family didn't want it rare in the center. The flavors in the dressing are excellent! I especially loved the mandarin oranges, avocado and edamame in this recipe. The only change I would personally make next time would be to use a little less of the marinade/sauce amounts. Thanks for a yummy treat! Made during ZWT7 for my Golden Gourmets team.
