Avocados Stuffed with Tuna Salad
Avocados Stuffed with Tuna Salad
This is our take on a popular Chilean dish, Palta Reina, suggested by our friend Pamela Navarro-Watson. The avocados make a beautiful presentation, and the best part is that no cooking is required! The avocados can be stuffed with chicken, shrimp, egg, or crab salad instead of the tuna, if your family prefers.

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, and bell pepper or celery and stir until it is thoroughly mixed together.
  2. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and sprinkle them with lemon juice and salt.
  3. Fill the avocados with the tuna salad, mounding the tuna. You can eat the salad and avocado flesh right out of the avocado “bowl”.
Recipe Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Dice the bell pepper, make and refrigerate the tuna salad, juice the lemon.

Scramble Flavor Booster: Add the zest of 1 lemon to the tuna or sprinkle everything with salt-free lemon pepper seasoning.

Tip: Chunk light tuna is much lower in mercury than albacore tuna, and is high in omega-3s and protein.
