Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna water drained
- 3 inches cucumber diced
- 4 baby dill pickles diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise keto & whole30 approved
- 5 avocados
Instructions
- In a large bowl fluff and break apart the tuna.
- Prep the cucumber and pickles. Add them to the tuna.
- Add in the seasonings and mayonnaise.
- Mix until everything is combined. Chill in the fridge one hour.
- Prep your avocados by cutting them in half and removing the pit. If you need to, make the hole where the pit was a bit bigger (just add the extra avocado to the tuna mixture!).
- Portion the tuna mixture into the avocado halves. Place the stuffed avocados into the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes
- Make sure to buy quality tuna as it will affect the taste of the stuffed avocado.
- You can easily make your own mayonnaise but if not, double-check that the one you’re using is whole30 approved.
- If you’re making a tuna stuffed avocado as an appetizer, rub the sliced avocados with some lemon juice before stuffing! This will ensure they stay green and fresh looking longer.
- The recipe nutrition is slightly skewed: one serving is a full avocado, and one full avocado contains 11.6g total carbs, 2.5g net carbs. Thus, a serving of the tuna avocados should be around 6-8g carbs.
- If you’re making this recipe in bulk, definitely use the avocado tool!
- The tuna stuffed avocados taste best when chilled. Either chill the tuna before making them or pop the finished product into the fridge for a while.
