Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 whole ripe avocado Make sure the avocado is perfectly ripe for creamy texture.
  • 1 can tuna, drained Choose your preferred tuna.
  • 1 whole cucumber, diced Fresh cucumber adds crunch.
  • 1/4 whole red onion, chopped Can substitute with white or green onions for milder flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh lemon juice helps prevent browning.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Finely dice the cucumber and chop the red onion as finely as desired.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Mash it with a fork until it reaches your preferred consistency—smooth or chunky.
  3. Add the drained tuna, diced cucumber, and chopped red onion to the mashed avocado.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently mix all the ingredients until coated evenly.
  6. Transfer your salad to a serving bowl or plate. Enjoy fresh on its own or wrap in lettuce leaves for a crunchier alternative.

Notes

For optimal freshness, consume within a day or two. To prevent browning, squeeze lemon juice over the avocado before serving.
