Tuna Bites with Tahini-Yogurt Dipping Sauce

This easy entrée is great for weeknights. If your family likes a little zing, add a minced garlic clove and a pinch of cayenne to the tahini sauce. Use the same technique with cubes of chicken breast if you like; just make sure the meat is cooked all the way through, which may take a few more minutes.

Whisk in yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. If sauce is too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time.


Place tuna on the prepared baking sheet; if you prefer kabobs, thread onto 4 (12-inch) metal skewers and place on the baking sheet.


Sprinkle tuna with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.


Roast, stirring a few times or turning kabobs, until tuna is barely pink in the center, about 8 minutes.


Serve sauce on the side for dipping.
