Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are easier to scoop out and have a creamier texture.
  • Use canned tuna in water: Canned tuna in water is a healthier option than tuna packed in oil.
  • Flake the tuna well: Flaking the tuna well will help it to blend better with the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Overdressing the salad will make it soggy.
