Main Ingredients
  • 1 can 1 can of tuna (5 oz, drained; choose your favorite: water-packed or olive oil)
  • 1 1 ripe avocado (cut into chunks)
  • ½ cup ½ cup cherry tomatoes (halved; feel free to swap with regular tomatoes)
  • ¼ medium ¼ red onion (finely chopped; milder onion varieties work too)
  • 1 stalk 1 stalk celery (chopped; for a satisfying crunch)
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped; parsley is a good alternative)

  • 1 medium Juice of 1 lime (to brighten the flavors)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparation
  1. Begin by draining the tuna well to prevent excess liquid from diluting the flavors.
  2. In a mixing bowl, flake the tuna into smaller pieces.
  3. Slice open the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna.
  4. Mash the avocado lightly with a fork, preserving some chunkiness.
  5. Add halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped celery into the bowl.
  6. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
  7. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, and optional mayo, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge if made in advance. Squeeze extra lime juice to prevent browning of the avocado. For variations, consider adding jalapeños for heat or chickpeas for a vegan option.
