Tuna Avocado Salad
Description
The Tuna Avocado Salad balances ripe avocado's creaminess with the mild flavor and firm texture of drained albacore tuna. The mix of minced red onion and celery adds crunch and sharpness, while Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard contribute a tangy creaminess tied together by fresh lemon juice. Scooping the diced avocado and folding it into the tuna mixture maintains the avocado's texture without overpowering the salad. Serving the salad inside the hollowed avocado halves adds an attractive, natural bowl. This no-cook salad can be quickly assembled and is best eaten soon after preparation to preserve the avocado's color and texture. Its combination of protein, healthy fats, and fresh ingredients makes it a satisfying, light option for warmer days or a quick meal.

- 1 ounce albacore tuna drained, white, in water

Notes
