I made this for lunch last week and was pretty satisfied. If you are not a fan of tuna though you should stay away because it is very "tuna-y." This is perfect for a light lunch and is ready in 10 mins. Another plus is that it can be made and stored in the refrigerator for several days. It is only 288 calories per serving (1 cup of tuna salad in a whole wheat pita loaf) 8.5 grams of fat, 53 mg of cholesterol, 33 grams of protein, 27 grams of carbohydrates, and 7 grams of fiber! All you need is:
2 6-oz cans chunk light tuna, drained
1 15-oz can small white beans (cannellini or great northern) rinsed
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
4 loaf whole wheat pita bread
Combine tuna, beans, tomatoes, scallions, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Mix and put 1 cup of ingredients into 2 whole wheat pita bread pockets and enjoy!
Makes 4 servings, (1 serving= 2 pita wraps 1/2 cup each wrap)
