A quick, healthy, and protein-packed lunch featuring creamy avocado halves stuffed with a tangy tuna mixture. Ready in under 15 minutes, perfect for busy days or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium ripe avocados
2 cans (5 oz / 140g each) canned tuna, drained
1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (about 20g) finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons (about 20g) finely diced celery (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup (about 75g) halved cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Slice avocados in half lengthwise and twist to separate halves. Remove pits carefully.
Scoop out about half of the avocado flesh from each half, leaving a sturdy border to hold shape. Place scooped flesh in a mixing bowl.
Drain canned tuna thoroughly and add to the bowl with avocado flesh.
Stir in Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until creamy but still chunky.
Fold in finely diced red onion, celery (if using), and chopped parsley.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add halved cherry tomatoes if desired and mix gently.
Spoon the tuna mixture back into each avocado half, mounding generously.
Serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lemon or sprinkle of fresh herbs. Optionally serve with crackers or a green salad.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to hold shape. Drain tuna thoroughly to avoid watery filling. Fresh lemon juice is essential for brightness. Chop veggies finely for best texture. For meal prep, keep tuna mix and avocado halves separate and assemble just before eating to prevent browning.
