Description
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.

• Salt and pepper, to taste
