    Why I Love This Avocado Tuna Salad

    • You can add anything you want to this salad! Add some fried cranberries, goat cheese, corn, or roasted peppers.
    • It’s so creamy! You don’t need mayo or any creamy dressings. The avocado gives it a smooth and creamy texture.
    • Makes fantastic leftovers. Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
    • It’s low carb and keto-friendly.
    • You can have this for lunch, brunch, or dinner! It’s super filling.

    Ingredient Notes

    Avocados – I prefer small ripe Hass avocados, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

    Tuna – I used tuna packed in oil because it’s what I prefer but use any type of canned tuna.

    Cilantro – If you’re not a fan of it, use fresh parsley instead.

    Top Tips For The Perfect Salad

    • Use good quality tuna and ripe avocados!
    • Season generously with salt and pepper, although the bacon is salty, the rest of the ingredients are very bland if not properly seasoned.
    • If you don’t like lemon, use limes or your favorite vinaigrette.
