Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/4 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. To prevent browning, sprinkle the cut sides with a little lemon juice.

    Make the Tuna Salad: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped capers, and the rest of the lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

      Season the Mixture: Taste the tuna salad, then add salt and pepper to your liking. If you prefer a little more acidity, feel free to add more lemon juice.

        Stuff the Avocados: Spoon the tuna salad mixture generously into each avocado half, packing it in gently to make the most of the delicious filling.

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh dill or parsley for added color and flavor. Serve immediately for best taste, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
