"PITA THE GREAT" - TUNA SALAD

I found this recipe in the "Looney Spoons" cookbook and it has become a family favourite. There are a few more ingredients than your standard tuna salad but it is well worth the extra time. An equivalent amount of chopped, cooked chicken breast may be substituted for the tuna with equally delicious results. My 9 yo DD, especially, loves these, so I send the components in her school lunch and she assembles it when she's ready to eat. I hope you enjoy!

LITER TUNA SALAD PITAS

This is the Quisine Queen's attempt to lighten up a recipe for Middle Eastern Tuna Salad Pitas Recipe #169389 by Nick's Mom. I eliminated the hummus, mayo and sesame oil completely and made up a lighter version of the dressing by using 2% yoghurt (Greek-style - the 0% is also good - and less fat) and ingredients normally found in hummus. The taste of sesame is added to the final sandwich with the addition of sesame seeds to add both crunch and flavour.

Steps:

Make dressing by zapping all the dressing ingredients together in a mini-processor until thoroughly combined and the garlic and chickpeas have been pureed. (do try to make the dressing atleast a couple of hours before making the sandwiches, to allow all the ingredients to 'meld' and 'marry' - even the previous day is OK).
To prepare tuna salad: Combine all ingredients, including dressing, except pitas, lettuce, and tomato in a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Taste for salt, and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Salad can be prepared 1 day ahead. To store, cover and refrigerate.
To assemble sandwiches: Divide tuna salad equally and mound in pita pockets. Add several tomato slices and a lettuce leaf to each pocket. Arrange sandwiches in a basket or on a serving plate. Serve immediately.
