Ingredients
- 2.8 oz tuna 1 small can - I suggest in oil, albacore, canned
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or a little more, to taste
- 2 tablespoon pea eg frozen, defrosted
- 2 tablespoon corn eg frozen, defrosted
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 1 pinch black pepper or a little more, to taste
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice approx, or lime juice
To serve (optional)
- 2 lettuce approx, leaves
- 6 cherry tomato approx
Instructions
- Drain any excess liquid from the tuna and mix in a small bowl with the mayonnaise, peas, corn, parsley and a little salt and pepper. Mix so everything is well combined and set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and peel each half. Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice onto each side and rub in (just so it’s lightly coated).
- Place a lettuce leaf on two plates and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place a half of avocado on top of the lettuce so that it helps keep it steady and place the tomato halves around it. Stuff the cavity from the stone on each half of the avocado with the tuna mixture and serve.
Notes
- If you are using frozen, defrosted vegetables then I think they work fine to not cook. However if using fresh, you should briefly boil to cook them until just tender. Similarly, if you were to use carrot instead or as well, this should be cooked first. You could use canned vegetables but they would not be my first choice.
