🥑 Summertime Avocado Tuna Salad

Ingredients (serves 2–3):

• 1 ripe avocado, diced

• 1 can (about 150 g/5 oz) tuna in water or olive oil, drained

• 1 small cucumber, diced

• 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

• ½ small red onion, finely chopped

• Juice of 1 lime (or lemon)

• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (for a bit of heat)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients
   In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, tuna, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

2. Add dressing
   Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil. Toss gently to combine without mashing the avocado too much.

3. Season and garnish
   Add chopped cilantro or parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix lightly. Add jalapeño if you like a spicy kick.

4. Serve immediately
   This salad is great on its own, with tortilla chips, or stuffed into pita bread or lettuce wraps.

Tips:

• Use ripe but firm avocado to keep the salad from getting mushy.

• For extra crunch, add some toasted pumpkin seeds or chopped celery.

• You can swap tuna for cooked shrimp or canned salmon if you want variation.
