2 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped fennel bulb
1/3 cup julienne-cut carrot

1 (15.5-ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces trimmed watercress (about 1 bunch)
Preparation
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.
