I do not like tuna BUT...this would also make a wonderful chicken salad as well ~ using canned or cooked & cooled chicken breast!

THANX! I'm trying this for lunch today!

p.s. I found these delightful pita pockets called Kangaroo Salad Pockets. Honey Whole Wheat are just 80 cals, 0 fat!!! Perfect for this salad sandwich!

I'd imagine that it would be just as good with chicken! Some of the reviews from the site that I got the recipe also said that it was good with grapes instead of pineapple. Hmm. And most people said that it was best on grilled/toasted bread. Some said to decrease the amt of relish. Just gotta play with the ingredients I guess...
Lemme know if anyone tries it !!!
