Ingredients

  • 1 can tuna (in water or oil, drained; approximately 5 oz)
  • 1 ripe avocado

  • Optional toppings: Sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or lettuce for serving

    • In the same bowl, add the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped red onion, and chopped celery. Mix until well combined.
  3. Season and Serve:
    • Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro if using.
