Fresh Tuna Salad Pitas

Recipe by Eric Jones

Upgrade your lunch with Fresh Tuna Salad Pitas! Made with juicy, seared tuna steak, eggs, and a tangy herb dressing inside warm pita pockets.



Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb fresh tuna steak
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 1/3 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp honey mustard
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dill relish
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 whole pitas, sliced in half

Instructions

  1. Chop the tuna steak into small cubes. Sear the fresh tuna steak over high heat until it reaches a perfect medium doneness (about 1 minute per side). Place it in a medium-sized bowl and set it aside.

  2. Place the eggs in a small pot of boiling water and cook until hard-boiled. Peel the eggs, remove the yolk,  and cut them into uniform cubes. Place the boiled egg whites in the bowl with the cooked tuna.

  3. Add the Miracle Whip (or mayo), honey mustard, lemon juice, dill relish, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients using a light touch to keep the tuna flakes and egg cubes intact.

  4. Slice each pita half to create a pocket. Generously spoon the fresh tuna salad into each pita until full. Add sliced tomato and arugula (optional) and serve.
