Today I made a tuna salad sandwhich on Ezekiel wheat bread. Instead of mixing one can of tuna with some mayo, I mixed in half an avocado and lime juice. Then I put some plum tomato slices on top and it tasted absolutely delicious. Also it was so filling and only 340 calories!! You all should give it a try. Yumm

    avacado (or, better yet, guacamole) works well in place of mayo in egg salad too

    Somehow about 4 years ago I developed an avocado allergy. It's so sad :(

    Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that ;( avocado is my favorite food on earth! Hopefully you can find something as yummy to replace it.

    I make chicken salad with avocado too. Chop up some chicken breast with mashed up avocado,cilantro,green onion and a squeeze of lime juice. Delicious.

    i tried this with egg salad once! unfortunately, though not wholly unpalatable, the mashed yolks and avocado together turned a really nightmarish shade of green and i really... can't subject myself to that again...

    I haven't tried it with tuna though! That's an idea!
