Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice

- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/4 cup green onion thinly sliced
- 1 can (5oz.) tuna
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Dice the avocado into 1/2 inch pieces, put in a bowl large enough to hold the whole salad, and toss with one tablespoon of lime juice.
- Peel strips from the cucumber if desired, then cut into fourths lengthwise and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the cilantro and thinly slice the green onion.
- Whisk together the mayo and lime juice to make the dressing.
- Add the chopped cucumbers, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions to the avocado and gently combine. Add the dressing and stir just enough to combine.
- Drain the tuna and use a fork to partly break apart the tuna into chunks.
- Stir tuna into the salad and GENTLY combine (don't over-stir; you want the tuna to remain chunky.)
