Liter Tuna Salad Pitas

---

This is the quisine queen's attempt to lighten up a recipe for middle eastern tuna salad pitas recipe #169389 by nick's mom. i eliminated the hummus, mayo and sesame oil completely and made up a lighter version of the dressing by using 2% yoghurt (greek-style - the 0% is also good - and less fat) and ingredients normally found in hummus. the taste of sesame is added to the final sandwich with the addition of sesame seeds to add both crunch and flavour.
