REPUBLIC OF THE RIO GRANDE GRILLED TUNA AND GRAPEFRUIT SUPREME SALAD
A restaurant in McAllen, Texas, called Republic of the Rio Grande Grill and Cantina invented this entrée-size grilled tuna salad with grapefruit sections and red onions on top. It's a classic combination of South Texas flavors-and a very healthy dinner.

GRILLED TUNA SALAD
I love cooking this tuna spinach salad! Tuna steaks are quick to cook and delicious, and always seem a little more elegant, even though they're pretty inexpensive. You can find them at most meat and seafood counters. -De'Lawrence Reed, Durham, North Carolina
