Healthy lunchpita
I know I’ve talked about health and weight and more of those boring subjects more often, but I keep wanting to be a better person, so … yes, it’s time again to eat healthy and (a little) fatfree. (but not too much mind you) And this week while I was busy running around this perfect little healthy and filling lunch was all that I needed to get me through the day.
It was very quick to throw together and I saw the idea in a book of which I unfortunately cannot remember the name (cookbook overdose??) but I will write it down if I find the book again. To make this pita you ideally use wholewheat pita if you can find it (I could not) and then roughly add some of the below:
yogurt (use fulfat or greek yogurt as that has more flavor then the skinny yogurt)
canned tuna on water
cherry tomatoes
dried apricots, sliced
lamb’s lettuce or another kind of salad you like
red onion, very finely sliced
Add together in a bowl the yogurt, tuna, onion and the apricots and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Warm the pita’s and fill them with lettuce, add the tunasalad and some pieces of cherry tomatoes and enjoy! I mean, how fast is that for a good and healthy lunch!
I also received an award from the lovely Trissa, at Trissalicious, who was kind enough to give me the ‘Over the top” award. Trissa and I have only recently met but I fell in love with her blog and beautiful photos right 
away. She is a lovely person and writes amazingly witty stories, so if you haven’t checked out her blog, be sure to do so soon!

Nice and healthy Simone! Love the use of the dried apricots!
Delicious-looking sandwich! I wouldn’t have thought of the apricots, but it sounds like a great mix. And, thank you so much for the award. I see I’m in great company among the recipients!
This really a great idea the use of the dried apricots. Nice pics

Healthy AND tasty…sounds like a winning combination! Congrats on the award:)
OOOOh , I am flattered!! This means so much!! Now, we know a bit more about you too!! I have recieved the same awrd from Angel in the kitchen. It is a beautiful award too!
The pita lunch souds so good to me! really delicious!
Yay for your award – both you and your blog are indeed “Over the Top” and thanks a gazillion for passing this on to me (as Lisa says, with such great company!) and I am thrilled and flattered to be among your favorites!
What a great sandwich and adding the apricots is a great idea! Yum! Perfect lunch, I say!
Oh that looks good. I usually make tuna sandwiches with whole-wheat bread with vegetables and miracle whip, but I like the idea of using pitas. Hmmm yummy and we know a little better about you now… I need to work on my answers :-p
A very fresh, healthy delicious sandwich.
Beautiful-looking pita! And congratulations on your award! It’s amazing what you can learn from just one word answers haha.
Your picture of this healthy stuffed pita bread makes it anything but boring.
I mix yogurt in with my tuna too – your pita looks delicious! Thanks for sharing all those one word tidbits about yourself! And for passing the award on to me!
So fresh and colorful and flavor. The best part is the apricot here. Simone I would love this for my lunch dinner and everything else!
My fav. color is blue!
In all honesty, just the smell of tuna salad makes my stomach turn, but it’s a real tribute to your photography skills that this looks so delicious! Amazingly vibrant and fresh, so lovely.
Mmmmm that pita looks great! Congrats on the award
I am so jealous of your amazing photos
Love tuna for lunch, although I usually add mayo to it. Once my ex Lebanese boyfriend made tuna with lemon juice, olive oil and olives. yum.
Lovely pita and congrats on the award.
Congrats on a well-deserved award and on making the tastiest pita I have seen in a looooong time!!!!!
I have no doubt you’re on you way to making Q.12 come true!!!
Congrats on the award! And I think you have taken such beatiful pictures with every single perfect details. Love the design, love the lighting and color combination. Excellent photography skill!
Regards,
Kris
Mmmhh, those look so good! Great meme…
Cheers,
Rosa
SIMONE! Your new site Fresh Food Photos looks amazing! I am just drooling over the pics… and oh yes, you truly deserve the award I gave you!
Thanks so much for the award, Simone! I am SOOOOO behind on passing these around…
Apricots in a savoury tuna pita? Now there’s something I never would have thought of trying! I love making myself light, healthy lunches too (mostly so that I can splurge one dinner), so new ideas are always welcome!
Again, I really love the choice of colours, very distinctive
