Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, capers, or fresh dill
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tuna Salad
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined. - Cut and Prepare the Avocados
Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create a slightly larger cavity for the tuna salad. Set the extra avocado flesh aside and chop it to add to the tuna salad if desired. - Stuff the Avocados
Fill each avocado half with a generous portion of the tuna salad mixture. You can sprinkle extra toppings like cherry tomatoes, capers, or fresh dill for added flavor and presentation. - Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious and filling lunch! You can also refrigerate for up to 1 day if you’re prepping ahead.
