Tunacado: Tuna Salad With A Twist

Tunacado (I love how it rolls off the tongue)  is great for your skin, hair and midsection. It’s a healthier version of tuna salad because it’s blended with avocado instead of Mayonnaise.

Tunacado has the same creamy texture you’d want with an awesome nutty avocado taste.

I am addicted. College Boy likes it too  (which means it’s got to be good).

Don’t miss an opportunity to show off your green tuna. Great for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, too.

Delicious on sandwiches or as a healthy dip.

 

Ingredients:

1 can of water packed tuna
½-whole avocado, depending on how creamy and how green you want it
½ stalk of green onion finely chopped (more or less to taste)

Smush it around in a bowl and you’re done. How easy it that?!

I like mine on a toasted sourdough roll. How do you like yours?

    I add chopped Persian cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, red peppers, apple and lots of coarsely ground pepper. I like it with mayo with but I’ll test it out with avocado next time. Thanks for the great suggestion.

        I did a taste test today and compared with and without mayo. I’ll try to post the photo on your Facebook page. I liked my Tunacado a lot but it was very rich. I’ll have to alternate between avocado and mayo.

          Maybe you had too much avocado. It is rich but it’s sooo yummy. Send me a photo 🙂

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.
