Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin) Steaks Grilled with a Mediterranean Flair. Yellowfin Tuna or Ahi Tuna is usually served either Raw, as in sushi or Seared. or Grilled. When I first had this tuna grilled in spain with olive oil and salt I couldn't believe it was fish at all. This recipe is a bit of a cross between seared italian style and Spanish grilled.

Make a bowl of this tasty salad for your next picnic lunch, office party, or casual weekend meal. It keeps well for up to three days in the refrigerator. Buy a small pasta shape to keep all the ingredients in proportion. Check out pasta shapes marketed to kids! Or, substitute whole grains such as barley, farro, or brown rice for the pasta.

My husband used to make these pizzas when he worked in a deli as a teenager. We tweaked it a bit - used olive oil and whole grain crust. The pizza yields 8 slices. I've listed 4 as the serving size to allow for 2 slices - but this pizza is very filling, so you may only need one slice (which would only be 260 calories).

I was skeptical about this until I tried it ... so yummy! The original recipe (from Oldwayspt.org) calls for ricotta cheese, but I substituted cottage cheese because I really hate ricotta.

*The calorie count on this is much lower than what is calculated here because you don't use all the marinade. The calorie count from Oldwayspt.org (where I got the recipe) is 486 per serving. While that's still pretty high, this dish is extremely filling and you may really only be able to eat half to three-quarters of a serving before you're full.

Recipe from oldwayspt.org. I used rotisserie chicken from Walmart. Pull off the white meat. You can also mix another tbsp of lime juice with fat free plain yogurt as a sub for sour cream - but I didn't think these needed sour cream anyway. They do go great with guacamole ... I had some leftovers of the chicken mixture and added black beans and guac then threw all of it in a whole grain wrap for lunch. Fantabulous!

Submitted by LTHORNTON79

Ok, this is for that little bit of chicken mix you will have left over from making Easy ChickenTostadas. I've added in black beans and some Wholly Guacamole, plus a flatout wrap. This is great for lunch the next day!
