Tuna Avocado Salad Recipe
This tuna avocado salad is a creamy, protein-packed meal made with tuna, ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, and crisp vegetables. Fresh, flavorful, and ready in minutes, it's a healthy option for lunch, meal prep, sandwiches, wraps, or serving over a bed of greens.
Ingredients
- 300 grams canned tuna drained
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 ripe avocado mashed
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- ½ small red onion finely chopped
- ¼ bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Drain the canned tuna well to remove excess liquid. Place it in a medium mixing bowl and gently break it apart with a fork.
- In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky. This adds creaminess and structure to the salad.
- Add the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, and mustard to the tuna. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined.
- Fold in the chopped red onion, bell pepper, and celery. Mix carefully to keep the salad light and textured.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Add chopped parsley if using, and give the salad one final gentle mix.
