Mediterranean Tuna Pita Sandwich

Classic tuna salad is revamped with the traditional Mediterranean flavours of lemon, olive oil, olives and protein-rich, smooth cottage cheese dip instead of calorie-dense mayo.

  • Yields: 4
  • Preparation: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (75mL) Nordica Smooth Dips - Roasted Red Pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30mL) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30mL) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5mL) lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1/4 tsp (1mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1mL) pepper
  • 2 cans (170g) tuna, light chunk and packed in water, drained
  • 1/4 cup (60mL) red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30mL) black olives, finely chopped
  • 4 pita breads, whole wheat and halved
  • 4 lettuce leaves, green
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (125mL) cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Whisk in 1/4 cup (60 mL) dip until smooth.
  2. Mash together tuna, onion and olives. Add dressing, stirring to coat evenly.
