Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) of tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

1/4 cup diced celery

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Optional: Mixed greens or lettuce (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create a bigger boat for the filling, but reserve this avocado flesh for the salad.

Make the Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, diced red onion, diced celery, and chopped dill. Add the reserved avocado flesh and gently mash it into the mixture until combined but still chunky.

Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed and mix until everything is well incorporated.

Fill the Avocados: Spoon the tuna salad mixture into each avocado half, filling them generously.

Serve: If desired, place the filled avocado boats on a bed of mixed greens or lettuce. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Enjoy Promptly: Serve immediately for the best taste, and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
