Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.

- Peel the cucumber if desired, and then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Add the diced cucumber to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
- Finely chop the onion and freshly chopped coriander leaves.

- Open the can of tuna, drain any excess liquid, and flake the tuna with a fork.
- Add the flaked tuna to the bowl.
- Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the ingredients in the bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise salad dressing.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocado and cucumber too much, as the salad should have a nice chunky texture.
- Serve the fresh cucumber avocado tuna salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
- Ensure the avocado is ripe but firm to achieve the best texture in your salad.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the most vibrant flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, you can add a dash of red pepper flakes.
- To keep the avocado from browning, mix it with lime juice immediately after cutting.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for a more refreshing taste.
