Aussie Tuna Summer Salad image

A light Salad for the summer, a complete meal in itself. Tasty and refreshing. I made this one time when the temperature was far too high to turn the stove/oven on...it was 42C on that day... It was delicious and made me feel full but not that awful "heavy full" that one can't bear in Summer.

I'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but I really enjoyed this one. The dressing is light and flavorful and the avocado adds a nice creaminess.
