Avocado Tuna Salad
I think this is an unpopular opinion... but I personally loathe mayonnaise. So I created this tuna salad without the need for mayonnaise! With only FIVE ingredients! If you are a mayonnaise lover you could always add some and use less avocado or mustard. This tuna salad is the perfect snack with GF crackers or a lovely light lunch on some toast. Printable recipe below.
Ingredients:
1 5 oz can of wild albacore tuna (I love Wild Planet brand- non GMO, so salt added, sustainably caught, low mercury levels)- drained
1/2 of 1 avocado
1 1/2 T spicy brown mustard
2 diced baby dill pickles
Shake of red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Roughly mash the avocado in a bowl
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together until you have desired texture
Enjoy with crackers, cucumber slices, on toast, sweet potato toast... store leftovers in the refrigerator (I recommend putting plastic wrap directly on tuna salad to keep as much air as possible out so that the avocado does not brown)
