Steps

Prepare Tuna Salad

In a medium bowl, thoroughly drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, finely chopped celery and red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Prepare Pita Bread

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a toaster until slightly soft and puffed (about 1-2 minutes per side). Carefully cut each pita in half to create a pocket.

Assemble and Serve

Place one or two lettuce leaves inside each pita pocket, then generously fill with the tuna salad. Serve immediately while the pita is still warm.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different spices, such as a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicier kick, or fresh dill for added freshness.

► Instead of pita bread, you can use whole wheat tortillas or toast if you prefer a different texture.

► If you like a crunchier texture, add a little finely chopped cucumber or apple to the tuna salad.
