Easy Avocado Salad image

Incredibly basic, yummy avocado-based salad; it's one of my new favorite dishes now that I'm on a restricted diet. Dairy-free, yeast-free, wheat-free, and low carb. I like this recipe because the avocado gives it a creamy texture and the flax seeds add a good dose of fiber.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 avocado (I use Hass)
2 ounces chunk solid white tuna packed in water
1 -3 tablespoon flax seed (more seeds increases crunch and fiber factor)
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut avocado in half. Scoop out the flesh of one half into a bowl or onto a plate.
  • Mash the avocado up with a fork until it takes on a creamy, spreadable texture.
  • Peel cucumber and then chop as finely or coarsely as you wish(the bigger the chunks, the harder it will be to mix).
  • Dump tuna, cucumber, avocado, flax seeds, and spices into medium-sized mixing bowl, and mix until well combined.
  • Then you can either eat the salad right away, or chill for later! I usually pack it in a lunchbox with a few ice packs and have it for a snack when I'm out running errands.
  • Feel free to experiment with the types of veggies, spices, or cold meat you use. It's the avocado that makes the dish!
  • If you are planning on making the dish ahead of time, adding in the optional olive oil and lemon juice will help preserve the avocado and also add some nice flavors.
