Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (5-ounce) cans water-packed tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup peeled and diced cucumber
- 1/2 stalk celery, diced
- 1 tbsp sliced scallion
- 1/4 cup halved green grapes (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 medium fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/2 ripe Hass avocado
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess, or omit for lighter)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- Lettuce leaves or toast, for serving
Instructions
- Drain your canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the diced cucumber, diced celery, sliced scallion, halved green grapes (if using), chopped parsley, and chopped mint to the bowl with the tuna. Mix gently with a fork, breaking up any large tuna chunks, until everything is combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, prepare the vibrant green dressing. Scoop out the flesh of the ripe Hass avocado and mash it smoothly with a fork.
- Stir in the mayonnaise (if using), fresh lime zest, and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix vigorously until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
- Spoon the avocado dressing over the tuna mixture in the large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until all the salad ingredients are evenly coated with the zesty green dressing.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to your preference.
- Serve this refreshing Green Tuna Salad immediately on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves, as a sandwich filling on toast, or as part of a larger salad spread.
