Avocado Tuna Salad
Avocado Tuna Salad is an easy, delicious, bright twist on classic tuna salad. Creamy avocado, crisp veggies, and a flavorful dressing bring it all together, I've found my new go-to tuna salad! *Just note that avocado browns quickly so in the video I only made 1/3 of this recipe and it was MORE than enough for 2 people.*

Step 1
Thoroughly drain tuna and set aside.Halve and pit the avocado. Mash 3 tablespoons in a large bowl. Dice the rest and set aside. Add lemon juice, mayo, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Whisk until smooth.Add tuna, celery, pickle relish, red onion, parsley, and diced avocado to the bowl. Stir gently to combine. Adjust seasoning and add more mayo (1 to 4 tablespoons) if needed.Enjoy on toasted bread with mayo, in a lettuce wrap, or with pita chips. Best enjoyed immediately, as avocado browns after 1–2 hours.
Note
I came across this recipe from Chelsea's Messy Apron and I made just a few changes to use ingredients that I had on hand and I just fell in love with it! The taste was so bright and fresh and I love the crunch of the celery and the avocado really made this a filling dish, too. Very different from the classic tuna salad I usually make, but I'm SO GLAD that I gave it a try - it's my new favorite! *Wait until the avocado is fully ripe for the best creaminess and flavor and this dish is best eaten the same day since the avocado browns quickly. Freezing not recommended.*
