Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
  • 1/4 cup English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out a small amount of the flesh from the center of each half to create a larger “bowl” for the tuna filling. Set the scooped-out avocado aside to dice and add to the salad, or save it for another use.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Tuna Base: In a medium mixing bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Add the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and fresh parsley. Stir gently to combine the colors and textures.
  3. Step 3: Season and Dress: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the tuna mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Step 4: Stuff the Avocados: Spoon the tuna mixture generously into the hollowed-out centers of the four avocado halves. Heap the filling slightly over the top for a beautiful presentation.
  5. Step 5: Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of each stuffed avocado. Finish with an extra garnish of fresh parsley or a light dusting of black pepper if desired.
