Recently, I've been trying to find some new ways to eat the same old "boring" foods that I love so much. I've seen several recipes for healthy tuna salad, but they lack the creaminess that the tuna salad we know and love has. I found one that used avocado to bring it that creaminess, and added a little twist of my own to create an Avocado Tuna Salad Pita!
Ingredients
-2 small (I believe they are 6 oz) cans of Tuna in water, drained and flaked (this should yield about 6-6 1/2 oz of actual tuna)
-1 ripe Avocado, chopped
-1/2 Tomato, chopped/minced depending on how much you like tomato
-1/3 Onion, chopped/minced depending on how much you like onion
-2 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes
-1 tsp Lemon Juice
-1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
-1 Tbsp Fat Free Mayo
-Pepper to taste
-Whole Wheat Pita Pocket Halves
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and blend thoroughly with a fork.
2. Add about 1/4 of mixture to each pita pocket half, and enjoy! Feel free to add some lettuce to the bottom of the pita (like we did) for some extra crunch!
These pita pocket halves are only 245 calories per half!! They were surprisingly filling, and adding some lettuce to give it a little bit of a crunch made it that much better! If you'd like you could throw in some sliced apples, chopped nuts, or minced jalapeno to shake it up. Super easy, took only about 15 minutes to make, and were definitely yummy!
Give it a try, and let me know what you think. :)
