Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 avocados
- 2 (5 ounce) cans albacore tuna
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 tbsp red onion, diced
- 1–2 tbsp chopped parsley, chives, and/or other herbs
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped herbs (parsley, chives, or your choice), Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to create a creamy tuna salad.
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seed from the center.
- Stuff the Avocados: Spoon generous portions of the tuna salad onto each avocado half, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Serve immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture; they should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the tuna salad to enhance freshness and prevent avocado browning.
- Herbs can be customized to your preference – dill or cilantro work well.
- This recipe is best served fresh to avoid avocado oxidation.
