Tuna Avocado Salad
A classic tuna salad sandwich brings me back to grade school and packed lunch bags. While tuna is a great source of lean protein (and an inexpensive one at that), this is a healthier version by omitting the mayonnaise.
Cue the avocado! Technically classified as a fruit, this versatile ingredient packs heart healthy fats, vitamin E, fibre and folic acid.
Mixing it in with flaked tuna and some extra seasonings helps to create an incredible spread, sandwich filler or snack. Try it out for yourself!
