Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita pockets
- 2 cans Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 grams Baby spinach
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 30 grams Walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash the avocado until smooth, then mix in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy dressing. Set aside.
Rinse the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the cucumber into small cubes.
In a medium bowl, mix the drained tuna, chopped walnuts, and half of the prepared avocado yogurt dressing until well combined.
Cut the whole wheat pita pockets in half to create two openings for each piece.
Carefully line each pita pocket with baby spinach, followed by a layer of the tuna mixture.
Top the tuna with a mixture of cherry tomatoes and cucumber, then drizzle with the remaining avocado yogurt dressing.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a healthy packed lunch option.
