This is a delicious, healthy recipe for avocado tuna salad. This recipe requires zero mayonnaise! Instead we will be using plain greek yogurt, which is a great source of protein without the fat. This recipe yields a fair amount of food so it is great to keep in the fridge and eat throughout the week. If you plan on making a sandwich I recommend a multigrain bread with lettuce, raw onion and spicy mustard! This healthy tuna salad recipe calls for fresh tuna steaks but you could sub canned tuna if you so chose. It is so fast and easy you will want to make it every week!

If you do not want or have the time to cook the tuna you can always use canned tuna. Please enjoy this very healthy avocado tuna salad recipe! If you are on the Keto diet or a low carb diet, you can serve it on a bed of lettuce or over some sliced tomatoes. If you prefer, you can serve it on toasted whole wheat bread. Yummy either way!
