finely chopped red onion
celery

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by draining the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. If you're using fresh tuna, ensure it’s cooked and flaked.
Mash the Avocado: In the same bowl, add the ripe avocado. Using a fork, mash it until you achieve a creamy consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add Vegetables: Incorporate finely chopped red onion, celery, and bell peppers into the bowl. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your preference.
Mix in Condiments: Stir in Greek yogurt or mayonnaise until everything is well combined. Adjust the amount based on how creamy you like your salad.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Mix well to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Herbs: Finally, fold in your choice of fresh herbs for added flavor. This step really brings the dish together!
Chill (Optional): For the best taste, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Enjoy your Avocado Tuna Salad on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or with whole grain crackers.
