Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

Tuna Fish in Pitta Bread

The first time I made this snack was for some kids’ birthday party. Everybody was excited about the flavor and they were asking for the recipe.  Tonight I had to finish a retirement cake (I will give you all details in a future post), an olive pie and to prepare dinner for my family. So I thought that this snack would be an easy and delicious option. The preparation time is approximately 15 minutes and your children can help you prepare it as well.  Bon appetite…!!!




You can add green pepper or any other ingredient that you might feel will be nice with tuna. Here I have the ingredients that my kids like.
You can even replace these ingredients with "light" ones, and make it a diet snack.

  7. While my husband is not a fan of tuna fish, I do enjoy it. I'm thinking the "light" version may make for a great lunch option for me - and I'm always looking for lunch options. It's the hardest meal of the day for me to plan (mostly because it's just for me).
