Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 5-ounce can tuna, preferably packed in olive oil, drained
- 1/2 ripe avocado, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup minced celery
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the drained tuna, chopped avocado, minced celery, minced red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped cilantro or parsley, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper into a medium bowl.
- Mix and Mash: Using a fork, thoroughly mix the ingredients together, mashing the avocado and breaking up the tuna chunks until the salad is well combined and creamy.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and add additional olive oil, salt, or pepper if needed. Serve immediately on your favorite sandwich bread or toast for a delicious and easy meal.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Prefer tuna packed in olive oil for added richness, but water-packed tuna works as a leaner alternative.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can be substituted based on preference.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day.
- For extra crunch, serve with toasted whole-grain bread.
