Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit
This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

4 tuna steaks, about 4 ounces each
nonstick cooking spray
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup bottled fat-free vinaigrette
1 pound small red potatoes, halved
1/2 pound green beans, stemmed
1 hard-boiled egg
2 hard-boiled egg whites
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1/2 cup pitted olives, optional
anchovy fillets, optional
8 cups salad greens

Cooking Preheat the grill to medium-high. Spray the tuna steaks with
nonstick spray on both sides. Grill the steaks for 5 to 7 minutes on each
side or until the steaks are just cooked through. Transfer the steaks to a
platter, season them with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons
of the vinaigrette. Place the potatoes in a shallow, microwaveable dish
with a splash of water. Microwave the potatoes until they are tender when
pierced with a knife, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the potatoes, transfer
them to a mixing bowl and toss them with 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette.
Place the green beans in the same dish used to cook the potatoes. Add a
splash of water and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave until the
beans are just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the beans and toss them with
the potatoes. Add the egg, egg whites, tomatoes, pepper and olives and
toss to combine. In a large salad bowl, toss the greens with the remaining
vinaigrette. Divide the greens among 4 plates and arrange the potato
mixture on top. Slice each tuna steak and fan the slices on each salad. If
desired, garnish each salad with anchovies.
