Breadless Tuna Salad in an Avocado Bowl

When I found canned tuna in my pantry, I wasn’t really sure what to do. It’s one of those foods that just tastes salty and bland; there’s really not much to it, and it looks like cat food. So, I left it there until I decided to make myself a tuna salad, minus mayo.

I promise it doesn’t taste fishy at all. It’s more like an avocado salad that makes use of canned tuna sitting in your apartment and doesn’t even require a bowl.

    Cut the avocado in half and take out the pit. Then, use a spoon to carve out most of the avocado meat and save it. This will serve as your bowl.

    Cut the apple into bite-sized pieces. You’ll need about 2 tablespoons.

    Fill the avocado bowl halfway with tuna.

    #SpoonTip: Drain the oil first so you don’t get an oily tuna salad.
