A very nice combination. I can envision using a reduced portion as 1st course for a dinner party. I cooked the tuna in a dry non-stick skillet rather than grilling with no problems. I did use the radishes because we like them- they also add color. Only thing I will do differently next time is add a clove of minced garlic to the salad dressing because I think this would add to the dish, and because we love garlic. Thanks for posting.
