I gave this one 4-stars because I adapted it slightly. I used 1 green onion (green & white part) in lieu of the shallot and instead of olive oil I used about 2 T (maybe less) of RF sour cream to bind it. I made sure to make it ahead of time to allow the flavors to set. I served it over grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious!!

Great if having people over. Simple and tasty. I added some lemon juice in there, as well as a bit of honey if the raisins aren't sweet enough.

This recipe was SO EASY. It was also really yummy. I broiled the tuna steaks---careful not to overcook them. The next time I make the recipe (i will definitely make this again), I will make the salsa and let it sit for a little while so all the flavors can mix. This is a great come home from work tired meal. YUM.

What a fantastic summer dish. I really liked the combo of the grapes, shallots and capers: alternatively sweet, salty and sharp. This recipe is really about the salsa, because it could be just as easily used on salmon, swordfish, chicken, maybe even pork. I look forward to introducing this simple recipe to friends and family.

Incredible dish that is so easy to make. I accidentally bought green grapes and the salsa still came out very aromatic. If you prefer more rare variety of tuna, keep the steaks on the grill or stove to 1 1/2 minute or less on each side. Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful! The only thing I would change is to quarter the grapes instead of halving and maybe a few less capers. Very interesting and nice flavor combo esp on a hot night in FL. (I don't have a grill so I seared the tuna med rare in a hot pan with some olive oil. Used a pinch of smoked salt on the tuna to compensate.)

This is absolutely wonderful on a warm Summer day. The grapes and capers blend together for a wonderful taste.

Excellent! - surprising and unique flavor combo. Even 2-3 minutes per side was a bit too much if you want it medium rare - depends on how thick your fish is. Thanks for submitting this creative recipe.

I was VERY pleased with this recipe. It was flavorful, quick, and easy. I even had to cook my steaks on the stove top because we were out of propane and they were still fabulous.

I really loved this combination of grapes and capers. It was the first time I prepared tuna steaks and I was afraid of undercooking. I will follow recipe /cooking time exactly next time. They were still delicious. My husband and son liked the meal, not as much as I did but they are hard to please so I considered this a success. We will have this again. I will also use the caper/grape combination on salmon which I prepare often.

What a great recipe! I was a little nervous about the salsa just because I thought it was an odd combination, but it was delicious! Thank you so much!

This is an AAWESOME recipe - so quick and easy to make and yet absolutely gourmet in taste!! I made two small changes to the recipe, out of necessity: had no capers on hand so substituted small quartered olives (rinsed and patted dry) and broiled the tuna rather than barbecuing it. The flavour was absolutely delicious - the fresh parsley/grapes was so fresh tasting. The olives worked really well as a substitute (although I am looking forward to trying it again with the capers). (One word of caution - be careful not to overcook the tuna as it dries out) Thanks Drew for a wonderful recipe!!

Delicious summer recipe. The salsa is fantastic with the lightly marinated tuna steak done medium or medium rare. Highly recommended with steamed veggies and a chilled glass of riesling.
