Thai Tuna Salad in Avocado Boats for #TheSaladBar

Print This Post Thai Tuna Avocado Boats on Shockingly Delicious

Truth is, a perfect California avocado needs little else to justify its existence as a salad. A sprinkle of salt, a spoon, and call it a day.

But if you have a can of specially seasoned tuna, widely available these days in any grocery store, you can turn that avocado into lunch. I am using a spicy Thai-flavored tuna for this salad, and the creamy avocado tames the spice just enough, while the Thai chili flavor amps up the avo. It’s a marriage made in heaven.

Call it an avocado boat. Call it a canoe. Call it a plank. Whatever you like, grab your spoon and call it lunch!

Talk about a healthy quick lunch! I was not aware of the existence of the pre-spiced tuna, good to know! And I just gave an avocado the salt and spoon treatment yesterday.
