Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) of tuna in water, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Juice of 1 lime

1 small celery stalk, finely chopped

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Optional: Sliced radishes or microgreens for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Carefully cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit gently to avoid damaging the flesh. Using a spoon, scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling. Set aside the scooped-out flesh for later use, such as in guacamole.

    Make the Tuna Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, lime juice, finely chopped celery, chopped green onions, and fresh herbs. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

      Assemble the Boats: Take each avocado half and generously spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed-out center, filling them to the top for a delightful presentation.

        Garnish and Serve: For a vibrant touch, top each tuna boat with halved cherry tomatoes. You can also sprinkle some sliced radishes or a handful of microgreens over the top for added color and a fresh flavor.

          Enjoy Cold or at Room Temperature: These avocado tuna boats can be served immediately as a refreshing light lunch, snack, or an eye-catching party appetizer!
