Combining the creaminess of avocado, the zest of lemon, and the savory taste of canned tuna, this salad is not only healthy but also incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Open the can of tuna and drain any excess liquid.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the onion if it’s not already prepared.
- In the mixing bowl with the avocado, use a fork to mash it slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add the drained tuna to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the tuna and avocado mixture. The lemon juice will add a fresh, zesty flavor and help to keep the avocado from browning.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the bowl.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the tuna is evenly distributed with the avocado and onion.
- Taste the salad and add salt and pepper as desired. Optionally, you can add other seasonings such as garlic powder, chili flakes, or herbs like cilantro or parsley for additional flavor.
- Serve the Tuna Avocado Salad immediately. You can enjoy it on its own, as a topping for toast, or wrapped in a tortilla. This salad can also be served as a filling for sandwiches or as a dip with crackers or vegetable sticks.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture. It should give slightly when you press it gently.
- If you prefer less sharpness, soak the chopped onion in water for a few minutes before adding to the salad.
- For added flavor, you can include a pinch of salt and pepper or even some fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
- Serve the salad on a bed of greens or in a wrap for a more substantial meal.
- Make sure to drain the canned tuna well to avoid excess liquid in your salad.
This Tuna Avocado Salad with Lemon and Onion is a versatile dish that offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Whether you're enjoying it as a light lunch or a nutritious dinner, it's sure to become a favorite go-to recipe. Plus, it's easy to customize to suit your taste preferences.
