TUNA TOMATO RED ONION AND OLIVE PITA

It is summer.  You are hungry but are concerned with preparing something in your kitchen as you don't want it to heat up too much.  What to do?  Well, here's a fresh and tasty idea that we think you'll enjoy.  It's kind of like a salad on pita bread.  Tuna, Tomato, Red Onion and Olive Pita.  Try this:

INGREDIENTS:
2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
3 5-ounce cans of solid white tuna, drained
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup of grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
4 small or 2 large pitas, halved crosswise

PREPARATION:
*  In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

*  Add the tuna, onion, tomatoes, olives and parsley and then gently toss everything to combine

*  Open the pita halves and fill it with the tuna salad

There's only about 281 calories in this meal so you can even have two if you like.  So sit back, grab a napkin and enjoy this tasty light delight.
