Tuna Salad with avocado is one of our family-favorite salad whenever avocado and cucumber are in season. I make a zesty mustard-vinaigrette style dressing without mayo which compliments the creamy avocado and brings out the flavor of tuna even more. All-in-all it is a vibrant salad. Whether you like to fill it in sandwich, eat with crackers or for a salad-lover like me eat-with-spoon.. you will fall-in-love with flavors.
So, I say, feed-your-eyes with pictures of this scrumptious Tuna Salad and get inspired to make some tonight! (You have most ingredients for this recipe in your pantry)
TUNA AND AVOCADO SALAD
Tuna Salad and Avocado are made for each other. This mixture makes great filling for stuffing in tomatoes, or blood oranges like my recipe for Stuffed Blood Orange Tuna Salad.
This Tuna Salad recipe needs very simple (mostly) pantry and fridge ingredients. I use oil-packed organic albacore tuna. If you have tuna in pantry, you will only need avocado, cucumber, eggs, and fresh herbs from refrigerator. You can also use celery for more crunch.
HEALTHY SALAD
This is a healthy salad with good fats from avocado, no mayo and lite mustard dressing. No dairy, no sugar, and no gluten ingredients makes it perfect for Keto Diet as well. This salad is mayo free. I did use hard boiled eggs to make it more substantial. You can make it your own by replacing eggs with just egg whites or skip egg completely.
Keeping today's post short and simple just like this delicious Avocado tuna Salad.
