- 1 can sustainably sourced tuna, drained
- 2 ripe avocados

Preparation
Add chopped vegetables and can of tuna to a medium bowl.
Cut avocados in half lengthwise, and remove the pits.
Use a spoon to gently scoop out all of the flesh onto a cutting board. Reserve the skins.
Chop the avocado flesh into medium chunks, then add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
Add a small pinch of salt, and a few turns (or a pinch) of freshly cracked black pepper.
Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice, then gently fold everything together, making sure that the mayo is covering everything and that the tuna and avocado are distributed evenly throughout.
Scoop the tuna salad back into the avocado skins, distributing it evenly into all four halves.
Top with a sprinkle of fresh or dried dill, as well as a pinch of chili flakes if you’d like a touch of heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
