Avocado Tuna Salad Recipe
Avocado Tuna Salad Recipe: creamy avocado, protein tuna, zesty lemon & crisp veggies deliver a quick, healthy lunch you’ll crave.
Ingredients
2 cans drained tuna (water or oil)
- Half of the avocado use the other half for garnish
2 Tbsp mayonnaise or use more avocado instead of mayo if you’re dairy-free
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice plus a drizzle of olive oil
- Pinch sea salt cracked pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Scoop the rich avocado flesh into a bowl and smash until it reaches a creamy texture. This acts like an instant dressing.
Step 2: Add the tuna mixture—chunks of tuna plus minced red onion, lemon juice, and seasonings. Gently mix the tuna so you still see small flakes; over-mixing creates mush.
Step 3: Taste and decide if you’d like extra mayo or a splash of olive oil for silkiness. That balance of creamy avocado and bright acidity makes the perfect tuna salad.
