Try this savory tuna salad atop fresh mixed greens. Ingredients:
1/3 cup tahini |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (12-ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained and flaked |
1 (16-ounce) can chickpeas, drained |
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |
2 tablespoons minced red onion |
1/4 cup chopped fresh italian parsley |
3 pita bread rounds, cut in half |
romaine lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. Whisk together first 6 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Add tuna and next 5 ingredients; toss gently to combine.
2. Line each pita half with lettuce, and fill evenly with salad. Serve immediately.
3. Wine note: Tahini pairs well with Hangtime Pinot Noir 2003 [$16]. Pinot Noir always turns sweeter with foods that are salty. This great pick is fruity, with flavors of cherry and strawberry. -Rosalind Johnson, Divas Uncorked, Massachusetts
