- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 1⁄2 avocado (I use Hass)
- 2 ounces chunk solid white tuna packed in water
- 1 -3 tablespoon flax seed (more seeds increases crunch and fiber factor)
- 1⁄2 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (optional)
directions
- Cut avocado in half. Scoop out the flesh of one half into a bowl or onto a plate.
- Mash the avocado up with a fork until it takes on a creamy, spreadable texture.
- Peel cucumber and then chop as finely or coarsely as you wish(the bigger the chunks, the harder it will be to mix).
- Dump tuna, cucumber, avocado, flax seeds, and spices into medium-sized mixing bowl, and mix until well combined.
- Then you can either eat the salad right away, or chill for later! I usually pack it in a lunchbox with a few ice packs and have it for a snack when I'm out running errands.
- Feel free to experiment with the types of veggies, spices, or cold meat you use. It's the avocado that makes the dish!
- If you are planning on making the dish ahead of time, adding in the optional olive oil and lemon juice will help preserve the avocado and also add some nice flavors.

Hi there! I'm a writer by soul, and a cheerful, in-depth experimenter with pretty much everything else. I am also a happy newlywed. My husband and I first started informal pre-dating stuff while cooking odd ingredients into tasty dishes. I've done some form of cooking ever since I was six, with a particular fondness for baking. A few years ago I was diagnosed with various allergies and intolerances, including wheat, apples, bananas, pears, yeast and most things that are fermented. It radically changed my cooking style and thankfully opened up a whole new world of cuisine to try! However, I have plenty of people who still enjoy the treats I used to make (and eat), so I have the best of both worlds; playing around with high-calorie dishes without having to eat them!
