These stuffed pita chicken sandwiches make a fabulous lunch entree. Did you know that walnuts are one of the healthiest foods you can eat? Walnuts are the only nut that contain a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. No other nut even comes close. Eating a handful of walnuts every day is one small step you can take to protect your heart. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration even approved a qualified health claim for walnuts, the first ever for a whole food. |

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach; OR 3 tablespoons finely chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained 2/3 cup nonfat yogurt 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 cup chopped green onion 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or tarragon, OR 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or dill 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 2 cups diced, cooked white meat chicken 1 apple, cored and diced 1 cup (2 ounces) chopped walnuts salt and pepper, if desired several leaves iceberg or other crisp lettuce 4 pita breads, halved |

In a large bowl combine the spinach, yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, green onion, dill or tarragon and celery and stir to combine.
