This is one of my favorite lunches. If you are packing it to go, try packing the tuna mixture in a tupperware and bringing the pita separately, then combining them at work so it doesn’t get soggy. :)

Ingredients:

  • 1 small (2.6 oz) packet chunk light tuna (packed in water)
  • Nonfat Greek or regular plain yogurt
  • Dijon mustard
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette (optional)
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • Broccoli slaw
  • Feta cheese
  • Fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 whole wheat pita

Instructions:

Place tuna in a bowl. Add a squirt of dijon mustard and a spoonful of yogurt, in the ratio of about 2 parts yogurt to 1 part mustard, and drizzle a little balsamic vinaigrette on top (about a tsp).

Add the chopped celery and broccoli slaw (LOVE this stuff… makes any sandwich instantly more awesome and crunchy) and mix it all up.

Heat or toast a pita, place the tuna mixture inside. Add a few crumbles of feta cheese on top, and then cover with a huge handful of spinach.

Close it up and ENJOY!! :)
