  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

1 can light tuna in water, drained

½ medium avocado, mashed

2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

¼ English cucumber, diced

2 tablespoons chopped green olives

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the cucumber, chop the olives and dill; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, cucumber, olives, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Drain the tuna, flake it into the bowl, and gently fold into the mixture.
  5. Serve on toast, in wraps, lettuce cups, or however you like. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1‑2 days.

Notes

  • For a dairy‑free version, omit the Greek yogurt and use additional avocado.
  • Add crunch by substituting or adding celery or red bell pepper.
  • Swap fresh dill with parsley, chives, or basil if preferred.
  • For more zing, mix in a little Dijon mustard or hot sauce.
  • Boost protein by adding a chopped hard‑boiled egg or hemp seeds.
  • The lemon juice helps slow browning of the avocado—eat within 1‑2 days for best texture.
