This recipe came from my grandmother, who used peas in her version instead of pickles. My mother changed the recipe and I have altered it even more. The flavors of these ingredients blended together in what is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad will be your family's new favorite!

Another great recipe I found on Betty Crocker's website. Celery seed is wonderful in tuna salad and the addition of coleslaw dressing will add a little zip. A nice "lunch on the go" sandwich.

- Make your own pickle juice: It's easy to make your own pickle juice using cucumbers, vinegar, water, and spices. This allows you to control the flavor and sweetness of the juice.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your pitas. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your pitas. Some good options include dill, parsley, cumin, and paprika.
- Don't overstuff your pitas: Overstuffing your pitas will make them difficult to eat and may cause the pita to break.
- Serve immediately: Tuna pickle pitas are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the pita is crispy and the vegetables are fresh.
