Dietician Tip

This recipe calls for low-sodium water-packed tuna, which has about 200 milligrams less sodium than regular water-packed tuna.

Directions

In a large bowl, add the lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, broccoli and onions. Toss to mix evenly.

In a small bowl, add the tuna and ranch dressing. Stir to mix well. Add the tuna mixture to the lettuce mixture and stir to combine.

Scoop 3/4 cup of the tuna salad into each pita pocket half and serve immediately.
