| 1. Make dressing by zapping all the dressing ingredients together in a mini-processor until thoroughly combined and the garlic and chickpeas have been pureed. (do try to make the dressing atleast a couple of hours before making the sandwiches, to allow all the ingredients to 'meld' and 'marry' - even the previous day is OK). | 2. To prepare tuna salad: Combine all ingredients, including dressing, except pitas, lettuce, and tomato in a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Taste for salt, and adjust seasonings as necessary. | 3. Salad can be prepared 1 day ahead. To store, cover and refrigerate. | 4. To assemble sandwiches: Divide tuna salad equally and mound in pita pockets. Add several tomato slices and a lettuce leaf to each pocket. Arrange sandwiches in a basket or on a serving plate. Serve immediately. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
