Avocado Tuna Salad

Updated: Oct 21


Avocado Tuna Salad in toasted sourdough bread

This healthy, protein-packed avocado tuna salad is a versatile dish that works beautifully as a sandwich filling or a fresh topping for baby greens. Creamy, ripe avocado replaces traditional mayonnaise, adding a rich, flavorful twist while keeping it light and nutritious. Perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner, this salad brings together wholesome ingredients with a satisfying texture.


INGREDIENTS:

1 6-ounce can Dave's Albacore tuna, packed in olive oil, drained and flaked

1/2 ripe avocado, roughly chopped

1/2 cup minced celery

1/4 cup minced red onion

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper


INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium mixing bowl, add the avocado and mash with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.


Season to taste with a bit more olive oil or salt and pepper. Serve on your favorite sourdough bread or toast, or top lightly dressed greens for a carb-free option.


Note: For extra nutrition, we love use microgreens in our sandwiches — some of our favorites include scallion, arugula, cilantro or sunflower microgreens.


YIELD: Serves 2
