Tuna Salad Pita Pocket

November 16, 2009 by Julie 8 Comments

As I was going over my eats from yesterday in my head today, I realized that vegetables weren’t the only thing lacking… protein was practically non-existent as well.

Enter: canned tuna!

Canned Tuna

This salty (and stanky!) lil’ fish is packed with flavor and seemed like the perfect way to incorporate a filling and lean protein source into my lunch.

I made an easy tuna salad by adding light mayo, relish, mustard and red onion to the tuna.

Tuna Salad (Nasty lookin', huh?)

I scooped the tuna salad into a whole wheat pita and added a couple handfuls of spinach and several slices of a fresh plum tomato.

Hooray for sneaking some veggies in! 🙂

    Looks yummy! I love tuna. I put celery, onions, lemon juice, salt, pepper, tuna, and my secret ingredient- bread crumbs- I use my magic bullet and put a half of a slice of light bread in it to make bread crumbs!. So yummy!!
