Avocado Ritz on a Budget

Shazzie's Note:

True avocado ritz is normally made with prawns (or shrimp), but this budget version using canned tuna is also delish! I normally serve this as a starter, but have occasionally had one or two avo halves as a lunch or summer main meal.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 avocados , halved
• lemon juice
• 1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water , drained and flaked
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 -2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce (optional and to taste)
• 2 spring onions , finely sliced
• 8 shrimp (to garnish) (optional)

Directions:

1. Halve the avocados and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration (Hint, place the avo halves back together with the pip - also aids in preventing discoloration).
2. Mix together the tuna, mayo, sauces and onion.
3. Spoon into the avo halves and garnish with shrimp if using.

I will take this budget version any day. We just loved this on crackers. I used fat free mayo, but sadly had no shrimp.

Very good, easy recipe. I'm trying out the flat belly diet, and this is a perfect recipe for me. It's delicious and nutritious, MUFA's, etc. I used low-fat mayo and included the shrimp!
