Tuna Avocado Salad

By [e-mail]

From Joy Bauer. This recipe is an upgrade on the classic tuna salad. The creamy texture of the heart-healthy avocado is a perfect replacement for the mayo found in the traditional version. Serve this easy-to-make salad with crackers or enjoy it as a sandwich.

• 2 tablespoons avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon diced red onion
• 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
• 1/4 lime, juiced

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl add the tuna, avocado, red bell pepper, red onion, lime, and black pepper to taste. Using a fork, combine the ingredients.
