Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Cut each pita pocket in half to create 8 halves, and gently open each half to form a pocket.

Serve immediately, or wrap the pita pockets tightly in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal.
