Method:

Place Ahi tune in freezer for ½ hour — it makes dicing much easier.

Remove, dice into very small pieces, and place in a large bowl.

Add chives, olive oil, and lemon juice and place in fridge for 15 minutes.

Right before serving, add balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. (Taste to see if more lemon or oil is needed.)

Plate onto flat plate. Serve over organic mixed greens and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over each serving.
