Health benefits of Tuna Salad Nicoise compliments of Dannon® Light and Fit® Greek Yogurt

Tuna is great for a high protein diet as it has 33 grams of protein within its housing, with no pesky carbohydrates to worry about. In addition to this, tuna contains B vitamins and vitamin D, both of which are vital to fighting back against PCOS. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 (5.3-ounce) container Dannon® Light & Fit® Vanilla Greek Nonfat Yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
6 ounces fresh tuna steak
3 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups)
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup steamed baby green beans
1 cup steamed, sliced baby bliss potatoes

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the Light & Fit® Greek Yogurt, lemon juice, shallots, oil, salt, and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of the dressing over the tuna (reserve the rest) and let the tuna marinate 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, beans, and potatoes with the remaining dressing.
To serve, grill the tuna to desired doneness*. Divide arugula among 2 plates. Slice tuna and top each salad with 3 ounces tuna and 1 1/2 cups tomato-bean-potato salad mixture.
