Ingredients:

1 avocado
200g
1 slice lemon
7g
1 tbsp onion
10g
6 oz tuna fish
170g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Lemon: Cut a slice of lemon, then squeeze the juice from the slice into the bowl with the avocado. Make sure to discard any seeds.
- Onion: Finely chop about 1 tablespoon of onion. Add the chopped onions to the bowl as well.
2. Mash the Avocado:
- Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave it slightly chunky or make it smooth.
3. Add the Tuna:
- Drain the canned tuna to remove any excess liquid. Add the 6 ounces of tuna to the bowl with the mashed avocado and onions.
4. Season the Salad:
- Add a dash of salt (about 0.40g) and a dash of black pepper (about 1/10g) to the mixture. Adjust to taste.
5. Mix Well:
- Use a fork or spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure the tuna is evenly distributed and fully coated with the avocado mixture.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the paleo avocado tuna salad to a serving bowl or plate. You can enjoy it immediately or refrigerate it for about 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe avocado for a creamier texture and better flavor.

- You can adjust the amount of lemon, salt, and pepper to taste, depending on your preference.

- For added crunch and flavor, consider mixing in some chopped celery or cucumber.

- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

- This salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, making it a great option for meal prepping.

This Paleo avocado tuna salad is not only quick and easy to prepare, but it also offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
