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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Mash the reserved avocado flesh with a fork and fold it into the tuna mixture for extra creaminess.
Step 4
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the avocado halves, mounding it slightly if needed.
Step 5
Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes on top or around the plate, if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Tuna Stuffed Avocados!
