These Avocado Tuna Salad Cups combine creamy avocado with protein-packed tuna, creating a light yet satisfying snack or meal. Served in crisp lettuce or endive cups, they’re easy to make, healthy, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (170g) tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise, if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
  • Lettuce leaves or endive leaves, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Step-by-Step Preparation

1-) Prepare the Tuna Salad
In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, mashed avocado, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lemon juice, chopped red onion, and cucumber. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano (if using), and mix until everything is well combined.

2-) Assemble the Cups
Arrange the lettuce or endive leaves on a serving platter. Spoon the tuna salad mixture into each leaf, creating little cups.

3-) Garnish and Serve
Top each avocado tuna salad cup with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately, or chill for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Expert Tips

  • For extra crunch, add diced celery or chopped pickles to the tuna salad.
  • Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
  • These cups can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving for easy meal prep.
