Supergreens, Tuna and Avocado Flatbread Pockets



It's a rainy day in Columbus, Ohio, today. On rainy weekend days like this, I love to explore new recipes. During the work week, there's not much time for preparing nice lunches. Generally, I eat a big bowl of finely chopped cruciferous vegetables, a hard-boiled egg, along with a few toppings, such as dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds, and a splash (or a bit more ;o) of salad dressing. You can find many washed and-ready-to-serve salad blends at most grocery stores. This recipe is a take on that salad but served in a Tandoor Baked mini NAAN Ancient Grain flatbread (only 150 calories per naan!).

Serves 2

Ingredients:
  • 2 mini whole grain flatbreads (or 1 large cut in half)
  • 2 cups of various cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage and radicchio
  • 1/2 an avocado, sliced
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled and sliced
  • A handful of grape tomatoes, cut in half
  • 4-5 ounces white tuna in water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil and mayo blend dressing
  • Balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. Drain tuna and mix with olive oil and mayo blend dressing. Set aside.
  2. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil on greens
  3. Stuff each flatbread with 1/2 of the cruciferous vegetables and top with 1/2 of the tuna mixture. Top each flatbread with 1/2  of the avocado and hard-boiled egg slices and grape tomato halves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
