Tuna & Avocado Salad: The Ultimate 10-Minute Power Lunch

Sometimes, lunch needs to be fast, but it also needs to be real. You’re on the go, juggling a thousand things, and you don’t have time to mess around with complicated recipes. Enter the Tuna & Avocado Salad—a 10-minute, protein-packed savior. It’s fresh, creamy, and zesty, thanks to avocado, lemon, and a solid hit of quality tuna. This one’s light, but it packs a punch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 avocado, scooped

• 7.5 ml lemon juice

• 15 ml red onion, finely chopped

• 15 ml celery, finely chopped

• 1 can solid white tuna (drained)

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Start by scooping out the flesh of the avocado into a bowl and mashing it lightly—enough to keep it creamy but with a little texture.

2. Add the chopped onion, celery, and lemon juice. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, then mix it up.

3. Add the drained tuna, breaking it up as you fold it in. Now you’ve got a creamy, protein-loaded filling that’s ready to go.

4. Serve it on a slice of Ezekiel bread, pile it onto a fresh salad, or even stuff it into a bell pepper for a little crunch.

Optional: Add in any extra veggies like diced carrots, cucumber, or peppers to give it some extra bite and color.

Why This Works

This Tuna & Avocado Salad is about simplicity and balance. Avocado brings healthy fats, tuna gives it a big dose of protein, and lemon juice adds that tangy lift to keep it fresh. It’s everything you need in one bowl—and you’re done in 10 minutes flat. Now that’s a power lunch.
