  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon diced red onion

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the drained tuna, mayonnaise, diced red onion, diced celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined but still chunky.
  2. Slice the avocados in half and scoop out a little of the flesh to create a bowl without removing all of it.
  3. Spoon the tuna salad mixture generously into the avocado halves.
  4. Sprinkle with additional pepper or drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve directly from the avocado skin with a spoon.

Notes

Best served fresh; avoid using overripe avocados. Store prepared salad and avocado halves separately to prevent browning.
