SPICY TUNA SALAD PITAS WITH CILANTRO



Spicy Tuna Salad Pitas With Cilantro image

Tuna salad with a little bite! Makes a nice change when you want something different for lunch or a quick dinner. Had these with my mom before tackling the shopping crowds this past weekend...we wound up going on a cookbook binge! Serves 1 but can easlily be doubled or adapted to make more servings.

"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!

MIDDLE EASTERN TUNA SALAD PITAS



Middle Eastern Tuna Salad Pitas image

This isn't any old tuna salad sandwich. Filled with hummus (Middle Eastern chickpea dip), sesame oil, cumin and cilantro, this is a tuna salad like you've probably never had before. Pack it in pita pockets along with a slices of tomato and lettuce. I am not a cilantro fan, so I leave it out.
