Creamy avocado paired with savory tuna creates a delicious, nutrient-packed dish perfect for healthy eating without compromise.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe but firm avocados
  • 1 can of tuna (packed in water or olive oil, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (use avocado oil mayo for a healthier option)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce, capers or pickles, shredded Parmesan or feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create more room for the filling. Set the scooped avocado aside for later use.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. Spoon the tuna mixture into each avocado half, packing it lightly to ensure it stays in place.
  4. Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley, a dash of paprika, or a drizzle of hot sauce over the top for extra flavor.
  5. Arrange the stuffed avocados on a plate and serve immediately. If making ahead, cover the avocados tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.

Notes

[‘Choose ripe but firm avocados to hold their shape when stuffed.’, ‘Drain the tuna well to avoid a watery filling.’, ‘Season gradually to avoid over-seasoning.’, ‘Use fresh lemon juice for vibrant flavor.’, ‘Prepare the tuna filling ahead of time and store in the fridge. Assemble the avocados just before serving.’]
