Pineapple Chicken Salad Pitas

I'm a really big fan of pineapple and also sweet meat dishes. Let that be a warning to you. I really liked this recipe. It had fabulous texture with the almonds and the celery and the carrots. And I loved the replacement of some of the mayo with plain yogurt. So much better for you!
