Rub tuna with oil and season with salt and pepper.  Sear in a hot skillet for 30-45 seconds each side for medium rare. Allow to cool, slice, and set off to the side. Prepare salad ingredients as stated, set aside for building. Combine lemon, lime, orange, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and brown sugar in a food processor or blender.  Slowly drizzle in the olive and canola oils to form a vinaigrette.  Season with salt and pepper, and get ready to build your salads.

Combine the lettuces with the salad toppings (reserve a 1/4 cup of cashews if you would like to sprinkle on top) and make sure they are tossed together. Dress lightly with the vinaigrette.  Plate your salads, and top each one with 4 oz. of sliced Ahi.  Garnish with chopped cilantro and reserved chopped cashews.
