Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna, drained
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Mixed greens or lettuce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the avocado in a medium bowl and mash lightly with a fork.

  4. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Notes

  • Lime juice can be used instead of lemon juice for a slightly different flavor.
  • Add cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or corn for extra freshness and texture.
  • Boiled eggs provide additional protein and richness.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the salad before refrigerating to reduce avocado browning.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
