Steps
Peel and seed the avocado. Scoop the avocado into a mixing bowl and mash with the lime juice, and garlic.
Add the drained, flaked tuna, red onion, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
Complete the meal with a little fruit and greens on the side or mixed in. I enjoyed it with mango, spinach and a boiled egg for a protein rich lunch.

crystal carey-heckel on 2021-03-02 (5 stars): I have made this with jalapeno tuna and pickled onions I make. it's wonderful.
Jill on 2020-12-27 (5 stars): So delicious! I’m doing an elimination diet and mayo is one of the things bring cut out of my diet. I love tuna sandwiches though. With this recipe I didn’t even miss the mayo. The rest of the fam liked it too. Thanks so much!
Jason C on 2020-10-22 (4 stars): That’s a great salad/sandwich. I prefer the foil pack with extra virgin olive oil tuna. Thanks
