Ingredients

• 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water
• 1 large avocado
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small cucumber
• 4 small radishes

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna and flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into small cubes and add to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 3

Finely chop the cucumber and radishes. Add them to the bowl for extra crunch and texture.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh parsley, basil leaves, baby spinach, green onions, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, forming your Green Goddess dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the tuna, avocado, cucumber, and radishes. Gently fold everything together until well-coated, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a standalone salad, on crisp lettuce leaves, or as a sandwich filling between slices of whole-grain bread or in a wrap.
