Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained (chunk light or albacore recommended)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a bowl and gently mash it with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture and creaminess.
  2. Drain and Flake the Tuna: Open the canned tuna and drain thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Flake the tuna into the bowl with the mashed avocado, folding gently to combine.
  3. Chop Fresh Veggies: Finely dice the red onion and celery, then add them into the bowl to add crunch and brightness to the salad.
  4. Add Herbs and Seasoning: Chop fresh cilantro or parsley and sprinkle into the mixture. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Mix and Adjust: Stir all ingredients carefully to maintain avocado chunks. Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon juice as needed to balance creaminess and zing.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best creamy texture.
  • Drain tuna well to prevent a soggy salad.
  • Fresh lemon juice helps brighten flavor and prevents avocado browning.
  • Chop ingredients uniformly for balanced texture and flavor in every bite.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 hour to maintain best texture.
  • Optional: add jalapeño for heat or swap herbs and add-ins for variation.
