A quick, healthy, and delicious recipe combining creamy avocado halves stuffed with a zesty tuna salad seasoned with everything bagel seasoning. Perfect for a light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 (5 oz / 140 g) can of tuna in water, drained
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • About 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Chopped fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice 2 ripe avocados in half lengthwise. Twist to separate the halves and carefully remove the pits. Set aside on a plate.
  2. Drain 1 (5 oz / 140 g) can of tuna thoroughly. Place tuna in a mixing bowl and gently flake it with a fork.
  3. Finely dice about 2 stalks of celery and 2 tablespoons of red onion. Toss them into the bowl with the tuna.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of plain Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until combined but still chunky.
  5. Spoon the tuna salad evenly into the avocado halves, mounding it slightly for presentation.
  6. Generously top each stuffed half with about 1 teaspoon (2 g) of everything bagel seasoning.
  7. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dill on top for a pop of color and fresh herbal notes.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy avocado and crisp seasoning contrast.

Notes

If making ahead, keep avocado halves and tuna salad separate until serving to avoid browning. Add extra lemon juice on avocado halves to slow oxidation. Drain tuna thoroughly to avoid watery salad. Rinsing diced onion in cold water can mellow sharpness. For a spicy twist, add jalapeño or hot sauce. Substitute Greek yogurt with vegan mayo or mashed avocado for dairy-free option.
