Instructions
- To a medium mixing bowl add drained tuna, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, parsley, avocado, olive oil, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss mixture. Serve in sandwich thins or pita pockets, on toasted bread or as lettuce wraps.
Notes
- *If you plan on eating tuna a few times a month I recommend using light tuna, if you only eat it once in a while then white albacore is fine. I say this because recent studies show canned white albacore has 3x the mercury levels as light tuna so it shouldn't be eaten frequently.
- *Also if using the white albacore tuna mash it up in the bowl a bit first before adding other ingredients, it just has a better mouthfeel this way.
- Nutrition is only for tuna salad, bread or wrap not included.
