Ahi Tuna, Avocado & Cranberry Salad with Orange & Tarragon Vinaigrette

     I try to make my lunch the biggest meal of the day, and the healthiest way to do that is a salad. Since my husband is not one for fish, ANY fish, no matter how I make it, I eat it on my own. Ahi tuna has become a favorite of mine, and today, I made a super simple and delicious dressing to go with it! Avocado should always go with Ahi tuna, in my opinion, and cranberries added a nice sweet pop! The dressing is light and sweet and it all went so great together! Try it for dinner!  (And hey, guys, while you're here at the blog, go the "Prize Giveaway!" page to enter for your chance to win!)
