Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna (in water)
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl. Flake the tuna gently with a fork.
Peel the mango and slice the flesh into thin strips or small cubes. Add the mango to the mixing bowl with tuna.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Chop it into small chunks and gently fold it into the tuna and mango mixture.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of one lime, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
Divide the mixed salad greens evenly between two dinner plates or large bowls.
Spoon the tropical tuna salad over the bed of greens on each plate.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
