Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and diced
  • 1 5 oz can tuna, drained (in water or oil, your choice)
  • 2 tbsp red onion finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, chopped parsley, or everything bagel seasoning

  • Add the drained tuna, red onion, celery, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
