ripe avocados
canned tuna, drained
Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
lemon juice
celery, finely chopped
red onion, finely chopped
salt
black pepper
fresh herbs like parsley or dill

Directions

I start by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pits.

I scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create more space for the filling.

In a bowl, I mix the tuna with Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper.

I stir everything until well combined.

I spoon the tuna mixture into the avocado halves.

I finish with fresh herbs on top before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 to 4 servings.
Prep time is around 10 minutes, and total time is about 10 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add chopped pickles or capers for extra tang. When I want more texture, I include diced cucumber or bell peppers. I also like adding a bit of chili flakes for a spicy version.

storage/reheating

I prefer eating these fresh, but I can store the tuna mixture separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I don’t reheat this dish, and I assemble the avocados just before serving to keep them from browning.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

I prepare the tuna filling in advance, but I assemble it with the avocado just before serving.

How do I keep the avocado from browning?

I add lemon juice and minimize air exposure to help preserve the color.

Can I use something other than mayonnaise?

I often use Greek yogurt for a lighter option.

What can I serve with this dish?

I like serving it with toast, crackers, or a simple salad.

Can I use flavored tuna?

I can use flavored tuna, but I adjust the seasoning accordingly.
