Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 whole Cherry tomatoes (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for the filling. Reserve the scooped-out avocado in a small bowl.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped red onion, chopped celery, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Mash the reserved avocado flesh with a fork and fold it into the tuna mixture for extra creaminess.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the avocado halves, mounding it slightly if needed.
Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes on top or around the plate, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Tuna Stuffed Avocados!
