Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup finely diced celery

1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. With a spoon, gently scoop out a small amount of the flesh to form a larger cavity for the filling. You can chop the scooped-out avocado and mix it into your tuna salad for added creaminess, if desired.

    Make the Tuna Salad: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna with the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well until all ingredients are smoothly blended together to form a creamy mixture.

      Add the Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced celery, red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and capers (if using) into the tuna mixture. Season the filling with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, mixing again to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

        Stuff the Avocados: Using a spoon, generously fill each avocado half with the prepared tuna salad until it is heaping over the top.

          Garnish & Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley or cilantro over the stuffed avocados for an extra pop of color and flavor. You can serve them immediately for a delicious and satisfying meal, or chill in the refrigerator for a brief period to enhance the refreshing taste.
