Equipment

  • Avocado pitter

Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna water drained
  • 3 inches cucumber diced
  • 4 baby dill pickles diced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise keto & whole30 approved
  • 5 avocados

Instructions

  • In a large bowl fluff and break apart the tuna.
  • Prep the cucumber and pickles. Add them to the tuna.
  • Add in the seasonings and mayonnaise.
  • Mix until everything is combined. Chill in the fridge one hour.
  • Prep your avocados by cutting them in half and removing the pit. If you need to, make the hole where the pit was a bit bigger (just add the extra avocado to the tuna mixture!).
  • Portion the tuna mixture into the avocado halves. Place the stuffed avocados into the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Make sure to buy quality tuna as it will affect the taste of the stuffed avocado.
  • You can easily make your own mayonnaise but if not, double-check that the one you’re using is whole30 approved.
  • If you’re making a tuna stuffed avocado as an appetizer, rub the sliced avocados with some lemon juice before stuffing! This will ensure they stay green and fresh looking longer.
  • The recipe nutrition is slightly skewed: one serving is a full avocado, and one full avocado contains 11.6g total carbs, 2.5g net carbs. Thus, a serving of the tuna avocados should be around 6-8g carbs.
  • If you’re making this recipe in bulk, definitely use the avocado tool!
  • The tuna stuffed avocados taste best when chilled. Either chill the tuna before making them or pop the finished product into the fridge for a while.
