Notes

This salad is incredibly versatile; feel free to add ingredients such as diced apples, walnuts, or even a touch of curry powder for a unique twist. If you're meal prepping, keep the tuna and avocado separate until ready to eat to prevent browning. For a heartier option, consider adding hard-boiled eggs or tossing the mixture with pasta. The flavor of the salad improves with a splash of vinegar or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or basil. If you enjoy a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or jalapeños. To serve impressively, consider presenting the salad in halved avocado shells or stuffed in hollowed tomatoes.
