1 tuna steak - (abt 16 oz)
2 cups green beans, trimmed, halved
4 cups romaine lettuce leaves, washed, and
torn into small pieces
8 small cooked red potatoes, quartered
1 cup chopped seeded tomato
4 cooked egg whites, chopped
1/4 cup sliced red onion, halved
2 tsp chopped black olives

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare Citrus Marinade: Blend all ingredients in small bowl.

Combine marinade with tuna in large resealable plastic food storage bag. Seal bag; turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour for each inch of thickness, turning occasionally. Drain tuna; discard marinade.

To prevent sticking, spray grill with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare coals for grilling. Place tuna on grill, 4 inches from hot coals. Grill 8 to 10 minutes or until tuna flakes easily when tested with fork, turning once. Or, place tuna on rack of broiler pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Broil 4 inches from heat, 8 to 10 minutes or until tuna flakes easily when tested with fork. Slice tuna into 1/4-inch-thick slices; set aside.

Place 2 cups water in large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Add beans; cook 2 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again.

Place lettuce on large serving platter. Arrange tuna, beans, potatoes, tomato, egg whites and onion on lettuce. Sprinkle servings with olives. Serve with low calorie salad dressing, if desired.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.”

~ Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980)
