For the tuna salad (makes 2 servings):
1/4 avocado (mashed)
1 can tuna (in water, NOT OIL)
1 handful diced celery
1 handful diced onions
salt to taste
About 145 calories for 1 serving
If you want to put it on a sandwich:
2 slices Nature's Own 100% Whole Grain bread
2 slices tomato
1 leaf romaine lettuce
Adds about 110 calories
Making the tuna salad this way using avocado instead of mayo lets you avoid all the saturated fat in the mayo and reap the benefits of the omega 3 fatty acids in the avocado, while also lowering the calorie count a bit. The taste kind of reminds me of guacamole but definitely still tastes like tuna salad. Try it and let me know what you think!

Thanks for this. I'm definitely going to try this. Just have to find avocados - they've been hard to find in our neck of the woods these last few weeks. Sometimes they have them - but they're often over-ripe. ew.0

Thank you! I have three avocados sitting on the counter waiting for me. I just need the celery...0

Any Foodie knows this is good, and so is your word.
