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.

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 ounces tuna filet fresh (such as ahi or blue fin tuna) *See option for canned tuna below.
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt plain, optional Clean Mayo
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red onion minced
• 1 tablespoon celery minced
• 1/4 cup cucumber diced small
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 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.
• Once cool, diced tuna into small cubes. Add remaining ingredients, except avocado, and lightly toss. Set aside.
