Ingredients

  • 3 Tbs. reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbs. plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 tsp. salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 C. chopped fennel bulb
  • 1/3 C. julienne-cut carrot
  • 1/4 C. thinly vertically sliced red onion
  • 1 1/4 lb. cooked peeled and deveined large shrimp
  • 1 15.5 oz. can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 oz. trimmed watercress (about 1 bunch)

Directions

Combine reduced-fat mayonnaise, yogurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, dill, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add fennel and next 4 ingredients (through beans); toss well to combine. Combine oil, watercress, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons juice, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; toss gently to coat. Divide watercress mixture evenly among 4 plates; top each serving with 1 1/2 cups shrimp mixture.

Tip: For a flavor variation, try arugula and basil in place of watercress and dill. You can also substitute chopped rotisserie chicken for shrimp.
