Avocado Tuna Salad Recipe

March 19, 2017 by Florentina 1 Comment

How to make the best avocado tuna salad, without mayo, just wild caught yellow fin tuna, creamy ripe avocados, zesty lime and your favorite herbs.

Avocado Tuna Salad with Lime

Healthy, tasty, a little spicy and ready in 5 minutes, brunch and garden parties can be handled without any notice. Ask someone to bring some pita bread, a bag of chips or your favorite wraps, and you are all set to party. Or serve it paleo style and gluten free inside lettuce wraps!

You could of course also serve it inside avocado skins as well if you prefer.


Seriously kids, this is as simple as mixing up a few yummy ingredients in a bowl and kicking your feet up for a while.

Just remember to taste as you you, I calculate 1 large avocado for each can of tuna, then hit it with lots of fresh lime or lemon juice.
