Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) of tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (your choice)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup celery, finely diced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved (for extra garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the tuna salad, and set aside in a bowl.

    Make the Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well.

      Add Vegetables: Fold in the finely chopped red onion, diced celery, and red bell pepper to the tuna mixture. Ensure everything is well combined.

        Season: Taste the salad and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. If you like a bit of brightness, add an extra squeeze of lemon.

          Fill the Avocado Halves: Spoon generous amounts of the tuna salad mixture into the hollows of each avocado half.

            Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Optionally, top with halved cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor.

              Serve: Arrange the avocado boats on a platter. For a beautiful presentation, serve chilled or at room temperature.
