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
- 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.
