Recipe - Grilled Tuna with Baked Potato Salad

Grilled Tuna with Baked Potato Salad
This is an easy dinner to put together and takes very little time.  It's full of healthy fats and is super tasty!  I paired the tuna and potato salad with a green salad with avocado for vitamins and color.

Grilled Tuna

Pick up some fresh ahi tuna steaks and marinate them for about 15 minutes in the grilling marinade (recipe is also on this blog).  The steaks are usually pretty big so you can feed two people off one.  Grill it up to your preferred doneness. 

Baked Potato Salad

6 B-sized red potatoes (the larger ones)
1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions
Plain Greek yogurt
salt and pepper

Wash potatoes and poke the skins with a fork.  Microwave the potatoes until they are soft, 6-8 minutes.  While they are hot, cut them into large bite-sized pieces.  In a bowl, combine the hot potatoes, chives, 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt and salt and pepper to taste.  Combine and serve immediately.  (A little secret, I added a tablespoon of butter too.  That is not a healthy fat but it tastes good!).  Serves 4.

Green Salad Dressing

Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 avocado, chunked
salt and pepper

Combine ingredients and serve over salad greens and any vegetables you like.
