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 , I really enjoyed this Found an Eastern Store hidden away in one of our neighborhoods and was ale to get the freshest pitas I never used chickpeas this way and I loved the taste of them with the yorgurt I put in extra garlic, used romaine lettuce and some great fresh tomatoes This made a great dinner for me , Very nice Ev! I thought you captured the flavor of hummus and were able to keep it a good tasting sandwich I will reduce the dressing just a bit next time as I thought the tuna was a little wet Thank you!

(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). |
