Things to add to tuna and avocado

So I mixed up some fresh avocado into my tuna instead of mayo today. It's pretty good but is a little on the bland side. Any suggestions on what else I can mix in to make it a little more flavorful? Ideally, it would be something that's easy to portion out and keeps well.

    Salt and pepper to start. Or some sort of yummy Mrs. Dash blend. There's a ton of them. Otherwise, perhaps some boiled egg, celery or shredded cheese would work.

    Hot sauce.
    Onion. ( I don't like onion so this is merely a blind suggestion.)

    Boiled egg (diced up) and black pepper.

    Sometimes I add wasabi paste into my tuna salad, but I'm not sure how it would taste with avocado.

    I like the hot sauce and pepper ideas. The wasabi paste, too. I actually have all of these items!

    I don't know why I think apple chunks sound like they'd be good in there... but they do. I've never tried it though. lol

    By the way, your profile pic is mean. Torture! :laugh:

    I would add finely diced red onion, celery, a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

    Chipotle peppers are good in tuna as well.
    That's one of my favorites. Not sure why I forgot that one earlier.

    I am so shocked I can hardly think. 1) you're making a meal 2) it involved avocado.

    :D

    I add pepper, tuna tends to be salty as is. Also, garlic, lots of it. chopped celery or shredded carrots are good, too, if you're up for some additional food prep. they don't get soggy and give a nice variety to the texture.

    Happy eatin' :)

    definitely some lemon or lime juice. Chopped fresh coriander leaves are good too. A bit of fresh chili. Just gotta spice it up a bit :wink:

    Apple chunks and a tiny, tiiiiiiny smidge of nutmeg. Finely diced sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of dill. One slice of a pickled beet, diced very small, and scallions. One or two olives (whatever kind you like) and a little ground thyme. A spritz of lemon juice and sprinkle of sea salt. A couple of diced cherry tomatoes, parsley, and lime juice.

    ... I eat tuna/avocado salad almost every day. As you can see, I am easily bored. :P

    I add an insane amount of sweet pickle relish to mine first and then something creamy like mayo or guacamole to make it a little smoother. The sweet pickle relish makes it PHENOMENAL though! It's what I'm having for dinner tonight. :drinker:
