Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 (12 oz) can of tuna, drained

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise, if preferred)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

8 large leaves of romaine or butter lettuce

Instructions
 

Prep the Avocados: In a mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados, leaving a small border to maintain the shape of the halves. Set the avocado skins aside.

    Mix the Tuna Salad: In the same bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, diced celery, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Gently fold until well combined.

      Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice or mustard, if desired, for extra zing!

        Fill the Lettuce Boats: Spoon the tuna salad mixture back into the avocado halves.

          Serve: Arrange the filled avocados on a platter, placing them inside the lettuce leaves like boats. Each lettuce leaf can be used for scooping.

            Garnish (Optional): You can top with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of paprika for color and flavor.
