I was very intrigued by this recipe! Love avocado, love horseradish, love tuna! Tasting it off the bread (Pita), I wasn't sure I liked it, but after putting it on my sandwich thins, I really enjoyed it. I think I'll add a little mayo next time to hold it together and keep it from falling apart, but that will mess up the low cal aspect :) Thanks for sharing!

Made my own pita bread and enjoyed using this as a filling. The apple cider vinegar gave it an unusual tangy flavor, but it was good. Next time I would like to try using ranch dressing in place of the vinegar and lemon juice, but as Breezermom said, that would negate some of the nice healthy aspect of the recipe. Thanks for sharing Mersaydees!
