Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocado

This stuffed avocado makes for a refreshing and light lunch!

The combination of fresh tuna and avocado is a super punch of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats! Our Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocado features a fresh seared tuna salad in an avocado bowl. The brightness of the lemon and Greek yogurt in the salad really balance the fattiness of the avocado to create a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

This stuffed avocado makes for a refreshing and light lunch! It looks beautiful presented in the avocado halves, but you could certainly cut up the avocado and add it to the rest of the salad if you need to make it more portable.

US Customary - Metric

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red onion minced

• 1/4 cup cucumber diced small

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dry dill

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add tuna filet and sear on each side to golden brown. Tuna should be firm and still slightly pink in the center. Remove from heat at cool.
