Ingredients
tuna*, drained and flaked
(use unsalted or water packed and
rinse off well under cold water)
1 can (6 1/2 oz.) (185 g)
sandwich pita pockets** 3
mustard 1 tsp. (5 ml)
mayonnaise 1 Tbsp. (15 ml)
sliced green onion 2 Tbsp. (30 ml)
small zucchini, shredded 1/2
medium carrot, shredded 1/2
small apple, cored, finely chopped 1
poppy or sesame seeds (optional) 1 tsp. (5 ml)
 
Instructions
Combine tuna, carrot, zucchini, apple and onion.

Combine mayonnaise, mustard and seeds and toss lightly with tuna mixture.

Cut pita bread in half; open to form pocket. Fill with tuna mixture.

 

* Substitute 6 oz. (170 g) chicken or turkey (diced) if desired.

** Any other type of bread or roll may be used.

To save time and avoid last minute preparation make up sandwiches and freeze. Some good fillings for frozen sandwiches are:

  • sliced cooked beef
  • sliced cooked chicken
  • sliced cooked turkey

Use a thin layer of butter or margarine on the bread to prevent it from getting soggy as the bread thaws for lunch time. Pack condiments separately, add just before serving.
