Avocado Tuna Salad

By admin 2/28/2026

This recipe swaps traditional mayonnaise for nutrient-rich avocado as a healthier alternative. Avocados are full of heart-healthy good fats and rich in fiber, making this a nutritious take on the classic tuna salad. The dish comes together in just 10 minutes and serves 2 people.

Ingredients

Scale:
Units:
  • 1 140g can white meat tuna
  • 1/2 celery rib (40g finely chopped)
  • 20g finely chopped red onion
  • 45g chopped dill pickles (2 pickles)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the tuna and place in a bowl, using a fork to break apart any large clumps.

  2. Roughly chop the avocado, and finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.

  3. Mix all ingredients together, and serve immediately before avocado browns from air exposure.
