Pita Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by draining the canned tuna and placing it in a mixing bowl. Add the chopped artichoke hearts, diced tomato, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion. Mix gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Olives and Arugula

    To the mixing bowl, add the sliced kalamata olives and arugula. Gently fold these ingredients into the tuna mixture until just combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Dressings

    Add the Muhammara and Tahini Caesar dressing to the bowl. If using, crumble the feta cheese on top. Stir until all ingredients are well coated with the dressings.

Assembling the Pita

  1. 4

    Fill the Pita

    Take a piece of pita bread and gently open it to create a pocket. Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture into the pocket.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Repeat with the remaining pita bread and filling. Serve immediately with extra tahini dressing or Muhammara on the side if desired.
