Description
Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocados are a light, refreshing, and protein-packed meal featuring creamy avocados filled with a zesty tuna salad—perfect for lunch or a quick snack.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley, paprika, or hot sauce for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise (or yogurt), Dijon mustard, celery, onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Using a spoon, scoop a bit of flesh from the center of each avocado half to create more space for filling (optional). Dice and add the scooped avocado to the tuna mixture if desired.
- Fill each avocado half with a generous scoop of tuna salad.
- Garnish with parsley, a sprinkle of paprika, or a few dashes of hot sauce if using.
- Serve immediately, chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.
- For added crunch, mix in chopped pickles or water chestnuts.
- Best served fresh—avocados can brown if made too far in advance.
