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!
