This is one of my adopted recipes. It looks like a dish my family and I would enjoy, so I hope to make it and edit it in the future.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Tuna

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs, hard-boiled
1/2 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce
1 cup mashed avocado (1 ripe avocado)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, to taste (Best Foods, Hellmann\'s, or Vegenaise)
2 tablespoons dill relish
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel eggs and mash really well with a fork (more or less mince them).
  • Peel, pit, and cube the ripe avocado, then place in bowl.
  • Add the fresh lemon juice (helps keep the avocado from discoloring) and mash really well with a fork.
  • Mix the egg mixture together with the avocado mixture and stir well.
  • Drain water from tuna and mix with onions, avocado/egg mixture, dill relish, salt, hot sauce, and mayonnaise.
  • Serve over lettuce.

Tips:

  • To make the avocado halves easier to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Then, use a spoon to scoop out some of the avocado flesh, leaving a thin layer around the edges.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute chopped cucumber or red bell pepper.
  • For a spicier tuna salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • If you're using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • For a healthier version of tuna salad, use Greek yogurt or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise.
