Avocado Tuna Salad

Don't let the taste stop you from sharing the recipe with your friends! 🤤

 You’ll love how fresh and creamy this Avocado Tuna Salad is! It’s got crunchy celery & onion with creamy avocado and tender chunks of tuna. Perfect for eating in a lettuce wrap, a low carb tortilla, or going at it with a fork!


Lunch is the hardest meal of the day for me, mostly because it’s the meal where I don’t want to spend a lot of time, but I DO want something that’s going to hold me over until dinner.

We’ve got breakfast on lock with our Keto Breakfasts eBook recipes, dinner is easy enough to figure out since I don’t mind spending a bit more time there, but lunch…it’s a tough transition from sandwiches every day to, well, no sandwiches at all. 😉

Of course, we’ve got our chaffles, which make a great bun, or our keto hamburger buns so sandwiches aren’t completely off the table anymore, but it was still a tough transition for us.

We quickly found that making cold salads, like this Avocado Tuna Salad or our Keto Chicken Salad, made lunch really simple. Whip up a big batch at the start of the week and enjoy it with a fork, in a lettuce wrap, or served in a low carb tortilla.


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 15 ounces canned solid white tuna in oil drained
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons diced cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Dice the avocados and add to a large mixing bowl with the lime juice. Toss to coat. 
  • Flake the tuna into chunks and add to the bowl with the avocados. Add in the remaining ingredients. 
  • Stir well to combine.
  • Serve immediately.

TIPS & NOTES:

Storage: For best storage, cover tightly and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. The avocado will start to brown the longer it's in the fridge. It's perfectly safe to eat and the flavor will not change, though it doesn't look as appetizing.
Texture: We like a chunkier texture in our tuna salad, but for more of a dressing on the salad, just stir the avocado more. The more its stirred, the more it will break down and coat the other ingredients.
