    This was so good. used freshly cooked tuna then mixed into the sauce with the lettuce. Put Chipotle hummus on the freshly made pita and ate it that way. Loved it.

    Middle Eastern Tuna Salad Pitas,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.,This was so good. used freshly cooked tuna then mixed into the sauce with the lettuce. Put Chipotle hummus on the freshly made pita and ate it that way. Loved it.,What a nice and different way to serve tuna salad. I made this for lunch today just as the recipe is written. After sampling a bit on pita we decided it could be a littler spicier and added an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and a dash of cayenne. Other than that we thought it was very good and I will make it again the next time I make hummus. The cilantro is a must unless you are one of those people who think cilantro tastes like soap! But we love it. Thank you for a new idea for the old tuna salad standby! We got six servings from this recipe.
