Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Made with ripe avocado, red onion, cucumber, and celery, this avocado tuna salad is easy to make, high in protein, and filled with healthy fats. Once mixed, this tuna salad can be served on its own, added to a sandwich, or on a bed of leafy greens for a quick and healthy lunch.

Avocado Tuna Salad

 

This recipe is best made when you are ready to eat as the avocados may brown a little if left too long or made ahead of time. And, for the record, there is nothing unhealthy about the classic tuna salad made with mayonnaise, especially when you make homemade mayonnaise, this recipe is simply a fun twist on the classic dish.

    I didn’t think anything would have me eating a tuna sandwich without mayo… But the lemon and onion in this recipe is delicious!It’s so fast to make and a perfect way add more protein to my lunchtime meal.
