Just before serving, in a large bowl toss 6 cups of mixed greens with 4-6 tablespoons of miso dressing.

Compose the bowl by adding 1 cup of rice or quinoa to the bottom of each bowl. Add a mound of dressed mixed greens on top, as well as the cut up avocado and cucumber. Place equal portions of the tuna on top of the greens. Place cut up nori strips on top of the salads and serve immediately.
