• 2 sprigs each fresh basil and parsley, minced<br />
• 3 ounces albacore tuna<br />
• 1 teaspoon capers<br />
• 1 hard-boiled egg, coarsely chopped<br />
• 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese<br />
• 1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing</p>
<p>1. Line the pita pocket with the greens, basil, and parsley.</p>
<p>2. In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, capers, egg, and cheese. Fill the pocket with the tuna mixture.</p>
<p>3. Drizzle on the salad dressing just before eating.</p>
