Description
A quick and healthy Tuna Salad with Avocado recipe that combines nutritious ingredients for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 cups mixed greens or lettuce for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna and diced avocado. Gently mash the avocado with a fork, mixing it with the tuna until well combined but still chunky.
- Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, and red onion to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, fold in the chopped parsley for added flavor.
- Serve the tuna salad over a bed of mixed greens or lettuce. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to chill before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chopped jalapeños to the salad.
- Swap out the Greek yogurt for mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture, or use a vegan mayo for a dairy-free option.
