If I was an Israeli Ashkenazi and on a Picnic...

I might eat this.

Lebanese-Style Tuna Salad

1 tablespoon tahini
Juice of up to 1 Lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
Dash Cayenne
3 tablespoons olive oil - approx
Salt/Pepper

2 cans fancy-pants Italian tuna packed in oil, drained
1 huge onion, sliced thin
~2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Pita

1. Blend together the tahini, the lemon juice, garlic , and the cayenne. Add the oil in a stream, blending until the dressing is emulsified, and season the dressing.
2. Add the Tuna and Parsley
3. Toast the Pine Nuts, add them
4. Carmelize the onions, and either mix in or serve as a topping.

Put into pita with the usual sandwich suspects - Lettuce, Syrian Salad, etc

Serves at least 2
