A creamy, tangy tuna salad made with Greek yogurt and avocado for a lighter, healthier twist on the classic recipe. Perfect for quick lunches, snacks, or picnics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans of tuna (preferably albacore, drained)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it into smaller pieces.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Mash the avocado until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl and mix it with the avocado until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Finely dice the celery and red onion (if using) and add them to the bowl with the tuna mixture.
  5. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice, add a dollop of Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and coated in the creamy mixture.
  7. Optional: Fold in freshly chopped dill or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
  8. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

For a creamier texture, ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe. Chill the salad for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Add a splash of olive oil or more Greek yogurt if the salad feels too thick.
