Ingredients
  

  • Two (6-ounce) cans water packed tuna strained
  • 1 tablespoons red onion chopped
  • 1 medium apple cored and chopped
  • ¼ cup celery chopped
  • ¼ cup golden raisins
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free or low-fat Italian dressing divided
  • 2 cups salad greens
  • 2 medium whole-wheat pita pockets

Instructions
 

  • Stir tuna, onion, apple, celery, raisins, and 2 tablespoons of dressing together in a medium bowl.
  • In another bowl, toss salad greens with remaining 1 tablespoon dressing.
  • Cut pitas in half to make 4 pita pockets.
  • Carefully fill pita pockets with equal amounts of tuna mixture and salad greens. Enjoy!

Notes

Prep Tip:
  • Prepare apples just before mixing to keep them from browning. 
    Regular raisins can be used in place of golden raisins, or you can skip them.
Change It Up:
  • Salad greens like dark red or green leaf lettuce provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. Try them rather than lighter colored lettuce like iceberg.
