In only 15 minutes these fast and flavorful pita sandwiches come together, no cooking requires. Rich with texture, this sandwich also features zesty, minty, creamy and briny flavors. Using the canned salmon cuts cook time and means the ingredients are easily kept on-hand. Be sure to choose salmon packed in water and not in oil. Super portable, this sandwich makes for a great lunch on-the-go. If you’d like, you can serve the salmon salad on top of arugula, baby kale, or spinach instead of turning it into a sandwich.
