👨‍🍳 How to make Tuna-Stuffed Avocados

In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, yogurt (or mayo), mustard, lemon juice, celery, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Scoop a small amount of flesh from the avocado halves to create more room for the filling. Mash and stir the scooped avocado into the tuna mixture.
Fill each avocado half with the tuna salad mixture.
Sprinkle with paprika or chili flakes if desired.
Serve immediately, chilled or at room temperature.

💡 Tips

Use flavored tuna (like lemon-pepper) for a fun twist.
Add chopped pickles or jalapeños for extra tang or heat.
Serve on a bed of greens for a full salad experience.
Squeeze lemon over the avocado halves to prevent browning.
Leftover tuna mix can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
