Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 large butter or romaine lettuce leaves

Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out a little of the flesh to create more room for the filling. Set the avocado halves aside.

Make the Tuna Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped celery, red onion, and dill (if using). Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

Season the Filling: Taste the tuna mixture and season with salt and pepper to your preference for added flavor.

Stuff the Lettuce: Spoon the tuna filling generously into each avocado half. Make sure to fill them up well, allowing the mixture to mound slightly on top.

Prepare the Lettuce Boats: Take the lettuce leaves and arrange them on a serving platter. Place the filled avocado halves on top of the lettuce leaves.

Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with lemon wedges and additional dill, if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing, light meal or appetizer.
