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
- 10 oz canned wild caught tuna
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 tbsp red onion (diced)

If using tuna packed in water make sure to drain it first. Otherwise just use it as is with the olive oil.
Sliced the avocados in half and discard the seeds. Scoop the flesh out and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the tuna, red onion, scallion, chili pepper, olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and gently mix to combine.
Taste and adjust seasonings with more lime, salt and pepper if desired.
Sprinkle with the chives and your favorite herbs and serve promptly with cracker or in a sandwich. Garnish with edible flowers.
