Lebanese Tuna Tahini Salad
I've recently discovered tahini and absolutely love it! in this healther adaptation of tuna salad, tahini replaces mayonnaise as the emulsifier and adds unique flavor along with the middle eastern spices. i like to add apples to my tuna salad for a contrasting sweet, tart flavor.
Steps
In a food processor blend together the tahini , yogurt , lemon juice , garlic , parsley , and spices.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl toss the tuna , onion , celery , and apples lightly with the dressing to coat.
Serve in a whole wheat pita with tomatoes , cucumber , and lettuce.
