Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cucumber chopped
  • ½ cup red onions chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 medium avocados peeled pitted and chopped
  • 2 cans 12oz flaked light tuna drained
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large salad bowl, add cucumber, red onions, bell pepper, avocado, drained tuna and chives.
  • In a mason jar, pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Whisk everything together until combined.
  • Taste to check the seasoning and pour over the salad.
  • Toss to combine and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the bell pepper, onion, and cucumbers are finely diced, so they blend nicely into the tuna.
  • I use tuna packed in water for this salad, but oil packed also works.
  •  If the avocados you purchased for this salad are softening too fast, put them in the refrigerator (whole) to slow ripening.
  • Red bell peppers are preferred as they’re the sweetest, but you can also use orange, yellow or green.
  • To store: Store the tuna salad in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The avocado may start browning as it oxidizes.
