Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained (or fresh cooked tuna, flaked)

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a richer flavor)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 small celery stalk, finely diced

2 green onions, finely chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of romaine lettuce (or butter lettuce, for cup-like leaves)

Optional garnishes: cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, fresh dill or parsley

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Carefully scoop out a little extra flesh to create a larger bowl for your tuna filling. Reserve the scooped avocado for later use (such as guacamole or added into smoothies).

    Mix the Tuna Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Fill the Lettuce: Carefully separate the romaine leaves, selecting intact, larger leaves to serve as your boats. Spoon the tuna mixture into each lettuce leaf, filling generously.

        Garnish and Serve: Top each filled lettuce boat with optional garnishes, such as halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Serve immediately as a refreshing meal or snack.

          Enjoy and Savor: Bite into these delightful, healthy boats filled with creamy tuna and ripe avocado. Perfect for a summer lunch or a light dinner!
