Looking for a quick and delicious lunch? Fill an avocado with tuna salad! Add some crisp lettuce and a few little tomatoes – Voila!
Here’s How to Do it:
Start with the right avocado. I was told you need to have it really soft to be sure it’s ripe – but that’s not right!! To find a perfect avocado, look for the darker skinned fruit. But colors vary to don’t rely on that. Give it a firm but gentle push with your thumb. Does it feel slightly soft but a little firm or does it feel mushy and soft? Go for the slightly soft.
In a large bowl, mix the tuna ingredients.
Whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, & pepper until it emulsifies. Set it aside.
Cut the avocado in half. Remove the seed and scoop the meat out of the skin. Use a large spoon and move it between the two.
Carefully cut a very thin slice off the bottom. This will keep it from rolling over.
Gently toss the lettuce in the oil & vinegar, then place it evenly on each of the plates.
Put the avocado right in the middle,
then top each with 1/2 of the tuna mixture. Add a few tomatoes and serve!
