Ingredients
- 1 can of tuna in water (drained)
- 1 hard-boiled egg (chopped)
- 1 ripe avocado (diced)
- 1 cup of fresh tomatoes (chopped)
Instructions
- Drain and Place: Begin by draining that can of tuna and tossing it into a mixing bowl. Don’t worry if a little water remains; it adds flavor!
- Chop and Add: Grab your hard-boiled egg and chop it up. Toss the egg into the bowl of tuna. Who knew breakfast could help with lunch?
- Dice the Avocado: Now, it’s time for the star of our dish—the avocado! Dice it up and add those creamy cubes right into your bowl. Yes, please!
- Tomato Time: Chop your fresh tomatoes and add them to the party. They’ll bring a great crunch and juicy burst to every bite.
- Mix It Up: Gently stir all the ingredients together. Be kind to the avocado; we want it creamy, not mushy!
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Taste as you go—this is your masterpiece, after all!
- Serve It Up: You can serve it right away or let it chill in the fridge for a bit. Both ways are absolutely delicious. If you feel fancy, pair it with whole grain crackers or a crisp salad.
Notes
- Freshness is Key: Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. A perfect avocado should give slightly when pressed. If it’s too hard, give it a day or two to ripen!
- Make it Your Own: Don’t have tomatoes? You can substitute with cucumbers, corn, or even some chopped peppers for an extra crunch!
- Leftover Love: If you happen to have any leftovers (not likely, but hey, it happens!), they’ll keep in the fridge for up to a day, but the avocado may brown a little. Just give it a good stir before digging in!
