Prepare Avocado Tuna Mix

Cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit, keeping the skins aside. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl and give it a gentle mash. Add the tuna, chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta, diced jalapeno, sliced green onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and a good squeeze of lime juice. Season everything with a pinch of salt and pepper, then mix it all together until well combined. Spoon the mixture back into the avocado skins for a pretty presentation. You can serve it right away or pop it in the fridge to chill for a bit before enjoying.

Serving ideas

Serve chilled as a light lunch or a side dish with grilled chicken or fish. It also works well on a bed of mixed greens or with some crusty bread on the side.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best eaten within a day to keep the avocado fresh and prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Adding lemon juice before storing can help maintain color.
