Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water
- 1 large avocado
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small cucumber
- 4 small radishes
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into small cubes and add to the bowl with the tuna.
Finely chop the cucumber and radishes. Add them to the bowl for extra crunch and texture.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh parsley, basil leaves, baby spinach, green onions, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, forming your Green Goddess dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the dressing over the tuna, avocado, cucumber, and radishes. Gently fold everything together until well-coated, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
Serve immediately as a standalone salad, on crisp lettuce leaves, or as a sandwich filling between slices of whole-grain bread or in a wrap.
