Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Avocado: Gently mash the scooped avocado flesh in a medium-sized bowl, leaving some chunks for texture. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Combine Ingredients: Add the drained tuna, diced tomato, feta cheese, minced jalapeno, sliced green onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the mashed avocado. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Dress the Salad: Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Gently Fold: Carefully fold all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed and the flavors begin to meld. Avoid overmixing to maintain the texture of the avocado and tuna. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve: Spoon the salad back into the reserved avocado skins for an elegant presentation, or serve immediately in a bowl. For a cooler, more refreshing experience, chill the salad for 15-20 minutes before serving. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce.
If you prefer a smoother texture, mash the avocado more thoroughly.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice immediately after scooping it out.
Serve with tortilla chips or crackers for scooping, or on a bed of mixed greens for a heartier salad.
The salad can be made ahead of time, but it's best enjoyed within a few hours to prevent the avocado from discoloring.
