This is a great new way to serve avocado. Fresh and light. I think I'll adjust the recipe a bit next time by adding more cilantro and lime and not heating the tuna, it seems like it gets a little fishy when heated. Cooking the garlic and pepper adding more and some bell pepper, in olive oil, tossing with the pasta and then adding everything else. Thanks for posting this unique, tasty recipe.

I made this a few weeks ago, twice within a couple of days, and just realised I forgot to leave a review.<br/><br/>As you can probably tell by my 5 star rating, and that fact that I made it a second time, we loved it. I wouldn't change a thing.<br/><br/>Thanks, Sackville.
