Avocado Tuna Salad
This Avocado Tuna Salad is a fresh and modern take on the classic tuna salad, replacing mayonnaise with creamy avocado for a healthier, energizing meal. It's quick to prepare and packed with flavor from lime juice, red onions, and cilantro.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna, wild-caught, drained well
- 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Finely dice the red onion and celery, and set aside in a mixing bowl.
- Open the tuna cans, drain thoroughly, and flake the tuna into the bowl with the onions and celery.
- Mash the avocado in a separate bowl, then mix in lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Combine the avocado mixture with the tuna and vegetables, folding gently to coat.
- Stir in fresh cilantro, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes
Best enjoyed immediately after preparation. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, pressing plastic wrap onto the surface to minimize browning.
