How to Make Fruity Tuna Salad Pita Sandwiches
- Preheat your broiler to high heat.
- If using fresh tuna, sprinkle with lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper. Place on a broiler rack coated with cooking spray and cook for 4 minutes per side, until medium-rare. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
- If using canned tuna, drain well and set aside. Skip to step 4.
- Hard-boil 1 large egg. Once cool, slice in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Dice the egg whites and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tuna (fresh or canned), 1/4 cup diced celery, 1/4 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup pineapple tidbits. Gently mix until combined.
- Line each pita pocket half with 2 large lettuce leaves and 2 slices of tomato (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Divide the tuna salad evenly among the pita halves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
