Fruity tuna-salad pita sandwiches
I got this off of the Jillian Michaels website. It is really good.
Fruity Tuna-Salad Pita Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 hard-boiled egg white
1 tsp lemon juice
Dash of black pepper
1 (10 or 12 oz) tuna steak, size according to plan for 1/2-protein
Cooking spray
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp minced green onions
4 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 (8 oz) can unsweetened pineapple tidbits, drained
2 (5-inch) whole-wheat pitas, cut in half
1 1/3 cups torn Bibb lettuce
8 (1/4-inch-thick) tomato slices
Preparation:
Slice egg in half lengthwise, and remove yolk; reserve egg yolk for another use. Dice egg white halves; set aside.
Prepare grill or broiler.
Sprinkle the lemon juice and pepper over tuna. Place the tuna on a grill or broiler rack coated with cooking spray; cook 4 minutes on each side until tuna is medium-rare or desired degree of doneness. Coarsely chop tuna.
Combine tuna, diced egg white, celery, and the next 5 ingredients (celery through pineapple) in a bowl. Line each pita half with 1/3 cup lettuce and 2 tomato slices. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among pita halves.
Makes: 4 sandwiches/halves
Serving size: 1 pita half

Deb's notes:
I made it a little different and it still turned out really good. I made just one serving. I counted it as a full protein though, all other counts I left the same.
I used one of the Chicken of the sea prepackaged tuna steaks
1/2 c. fresh pineapple
1/2 T. chopped raisins
1 T. lite mayo
1 t. mustard
1 green onion
Mixed it all together and put it in 1/2 a WW pita with some lettuce and 2 slices of tomato. YUMMY!
