Health Highlights
A quick and easy lunch or weeknight dinner option that takes all of 5 minutes to get on the table!

Ingredients


142 gm White tuna, canned in water, drained (drained)
2 ring Red onion (diced)
6 tomato Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1/2 cup Cucumber (English; sliced and quartered)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Greek yogurt, plain, fat-free
1/4 tsp Whole grain mustard
1 cup Green leaf lettuce (or lettuce of choice)
2 medium pita Pita bread, whole-wheat

Instructions


  1. In a large bowl, mix together the drained tuna, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and mustard. 
  2. Cut the pitas in half and open them to form a pocket. 
  3. Line the pita pockets with lettuce.
  4. Spoon tuna salad into pockets and serve.

Notes:

Quick Tip:
  • To prevent the pita from tearing when you open the pockets, try grilling each side of the pita in a frying pan for a few seconds. This will warm the pita and make the outsides crispy, while the inside stays soft and warm, allowing you to cut and open the pockets more easily.
