Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh french green beans (¾ pkg)
  • 6 baby red potatoes, halved
  • 2 (5.25-oz) portions fresh yellowfin tuna
  • 1 teaspoon salt-free garlic-herb seasoning, divided
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup yellow (or red) grape tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 bag spring mix salad blend (5–6 oz)
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • 2 cups fresh watermelon chunks
  • ¾ cup canned, quartered artichokes, drained

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan). Microwave green beans following package instructions, then place in refrigerator to chill.
    2. Meanwhile, halve potatoes, then place in microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave on HIGH for 5–6 minutes or until tender when pierced by a fork, then place in refrigerator to chill.
    3. Coat tuna with ½ teaspoon seasoning and spray, then place on grill; grill* 1–2 minutes on each side and until 145°F. Remove tuna from grill; let stand 10 minutes to cool. Halve tomatoes; set aside.
    4. Whisk vinegar and oil until blended. Arrange salad greens on serving platter. Cut tuna into bite-size pieces.
    5. Arrange salad topping ingredients in rows over greens in this order: potatoes, olives, green beans, watermelon, tuna, tomatoes, and drained artichokes. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon seasoning. Serve.
    Always check fish for bones.
