Ingredients:

8 oz canned tuna
230g
1 tbsp sour cream
12g
1/4 cup salsa sauce
66g
1/2 avocado
100g

Instructions:

2. Add the Sauces:
- Add 1 tablespoon of sour cream to the bowl with the tuna. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the sour cream is evenly distributed.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of salsa sauce and mix again until the tuna is well coated and the ingredients are well combined.
3. Prepare the Avocado:
- Carefully cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
- Cut the flesh of half the avocado into small cubes.
- Gently add the diced avocado to the tuna mixture.
4. Combine All Ingredients:
- Gently fold the diced avocado into the tuna mixture. Be careful not to mush the avocado; you want the chunks to remain intact.
5. Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad into an airtight container.
- Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve the salad cold as a standalone dish, in a sandwich, wrapped in a tortilla, or on top of a bed of greens.

Tips:

- Opt for a good-quality canned tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best taste.

- Feel free to add a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavors and add some brightness to the dish.

- If you like a bit of heat, consider adding diced jalapeƱos or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

- Ensure that the avocado is ripe but not overly soft to get the perfect creamy yet firm texture.

- You can also bolster the salad with some chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or black beans for extra freshness and variety.

- For a more filling meal, serve the salad on a bed of mixed greens or use it as a filling for a wrap or sandwich.

This Tuna and Avocado Mexican Salad is an excellent choice for a quick and nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on flavor. By combining the richness of avocado with the tanginess of salsa and the creamy texture of sour cream, this dish offers a delightful eating experience. It's versatile enough to be enjoyed on its own, as a topping for greens, or even as a wrap filling. Try it out today and savor the perfect harmony of tastes and textures.
