Avocado Tuna Salad. A delicious way to jazz up boring tuna.
I love my tuna salad with a little kick. The spicy brown mustard in this recipe does the trick. I love to serve this in a cabbage leaf, over a bed of mixed greens or on top of tomato slices. I also love to use a low carb, gluten-free tortilla and use this to make spicy tuna quesadillas.

February 15, 2015 at 11:08 amI can’t wait to try this on a bed of lettuce with shredded cheese, tomatoes, and more. Oooh, we could even use chicken (fresh or from a can). You got my ideas flowing! Thank you!

September 11, 2015 at 6:05 pmhow long will this stay good? I am concerned with the avocado as an ingredient that it will start to brown or turn colors if not eaten right away.
