Ingredients

2 cans wild tuna see notes
1/4 small red onion finely diced
3 celery stalks diced
3/4 cup cucumber chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
2 avocados pitted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice see notes
2 1/2 tablespoons avocado or extra virgin olive oil see notes
kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large salad bowl or mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
You can either mash the avocado first or while you're mixing the other ingredients, depending on the texture you'd like to achieve.
Drizzle all of the ingredients together with the oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Taste for additional seasoning and stir again. Enjoy.

Notes

If you'd like your salad to be a bit chunkier, you can mash the avocados less. It's really up to personal preference.

Canned tuna: You can substitute out the canned tuna for canned salmon if you’d like.

Lemon juice: Start off with 2 tablespoons. Taste at the end and add more to your taste preference.

Oil: You can add a little more if you'd like to reach your desired consistency.
