- Roughly chop an additional 2 tablespoons of onion and add them to the bowl.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of pickles and mix them in.
3. Add the Tuna:
- Drain the canned tuna to remove excess liquid.
- Add half of the can (about 160g) of tuna to the bowl. Break up any large chunks with a fork.
4. Mix in the Condiments:
- Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise salad dressing to the bowl.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
5. Combine All Ingredients:
- Stir all ingredients together gently until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain some texture in the salad.
6. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can be served as a standalone dish, on top of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers.
7. Enjoy:

Tips:

- To ensure the avocado is perfectly ripe, it should give slightly to gentle pressure.

- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the salad.

- For a fresher taste, you can use fresh tuna instead of canned tuna by cooking and flaking it.

- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your taste preference.

- Consider adding a splash of lemon juice for added brightness and to prevent the avocado from browning.

- Serve the salad chilled for a more refreshing taste.

This tuna avocado salad with pickles and onions strikes a perfect balance between creamy, crunchy, and savory. It’s quick to assemble and can be customized to your personal taste.
