AVOCADO TUNA LETTUCE WRAPS

 

 

Author: Chelsea

Serves: 6-8 as an appetizer

INGREDIENTS

• 4 (3 ounces each) canned Tuna, drained
• 1 small avocado, separated
• 2 teaspoons lemon, separated
• 3 tablespoons light mayo
• 2 tablespoons red onion
• 3 tablespoons bread and butter pickles
• Salt and pepper
• Freshly chopped parsley 
  

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Thoroughly drain the tuna and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Slice an avocado in half, and remove the peel and pit. Mash one side of the avocado to get about 3 tablespoons mashed avocado. Dice the other side to get about 1/4 cup of diced avocado.
3. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt + pepper, and a few sprinkles of Tabasco sauce (optional) on the mashed avocado.
4. Mix the mashed avocado and light mayo in with the tuna until well incorporated.
5. Finely dice the red onion and bread and butter pickles (definitely use this kind of pickle as it adds so much flavor). Stir into the salad along with the diced avocado and remaining teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. Stir in some finely chopped Parsley and serve on crackers, inside pieces of lettuce, or in a sandwich.
