Healthy Tuna Salad with Avocado

A delightful and healthy twist on the classic tuna salad, featuring creamy avocado for added flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of tuna (in water or olive oil)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything and chopping the celery and red onion.
  2. Drain and flake the tuna into a mixing bowl after opening the can.
  3. Mash the avocado in the bowl with the tuna until creamy, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Combine the diced celery, chopped red onion, Greek yogurt (or mayo), and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Mix everything together gently using a spatula until well blended, but avoid mashing the avocado completely.
  6. Herb it up by tossing in the chopped fresh herbs and giving it one last mix.
  7. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes if desired, to let flavors meld.

Notes

This salad can be made a day in advance. To avoid browning, keep the avocado sealed until serving.
