This recipe came together on a warm day when the stove was off-limits and lunch needed to be both nourishing and no-fuss. Creamy avocado halves cradle a zesty, crunchy tuna salad that’s packed with protein and good fats. It’s refreshingly simple, and yet it feels a bit fancy—like something you’d serve on a sunny patio with a cold glass of lemonade. No cooking, no stress, just good, wholesome flavor.
• 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
• 1 (5 oz) can tuna, drained
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp chopped pickles
• 2 tbsp chopped celery
• 2 tbsp chopped red onion
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: squeeze of lemon juice
In a bowl, mix tuna, mayo or yogurt, mustard, pickles, celery, red onion, salt, and pepper.
Scoop a bit of the avocado flesh out to create space for the filling (optional) and add to the tuna mix.
Spoon tuna salad into each avocado half.
Add a squeeze of lemon if desired and serve chilled.
