Healthy Tuna Salad Stuffed in Avocado

Recipe Description

This Healthy Tuna Salad Stuffed in Avocado salad is my go to midweek lunch at the moment. As winter days turn to spring, I start to crave fresh, healthy salads. This is a fantastic lunch. You can prepare the tuna salad filling in advance and simply stuff avocado halve when you wish to eat. 

Start by scooping the avocado flesh from 4 avocado halves. Dice and reserve the flesh for the salad. Mix the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Gently mix in the reserved avocado flesh. Fill the avocado halves with the tuna salad mixture and enjoy!
