Jazz up a can of tuna with this easy avocado tuna salad recipe. Silky avocado adds creaminess that's cut with a hit of acidity from lemon and a briny punch from feta cheese. Romaine hearts and cucumber offer refreshing crunch.

Prep/Cook Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium avocados, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 5-ounce cans solid white tuna in oil, drained and flaked
  • 4 cups chopped romaine hearts
  • 1 cup chopped English cucumber
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, lemon juice and salt together in a large bowl; add avocados and toss gently to coat thoroughly. Add tuna, romaine, cucumber, feta, almonds, olives and parsley to the avocado mixture; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
