A quick and easy low-carb tuna and avocado bowl with fresh veggies and crunchy toppings. Great for lunch or dinner, and no cooking needed.
1 ripe avocado
1 can tuna (5 oz, drained)
1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
½ cup sliced cucumber
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
Juice of ½ lime
1 tablespoon roasted sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons crushed pork rinds (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped pickles or jalapeños
1 tablespoon mayo (avocado oil-based if possible)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: few drops hot sauce or pinch of smoked paprika
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop it into a mixing bowl. Mash lightly—keep it chunky.
Add drained tuna to the bowl. Break it up gently with the avocado.
Mix in red onion, lime juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
In your serving bowl, place shredded lettuce and cucumber slices.
Spoon the tuna-avocado mix over the veggies.
Top with sunflower seeds, pork rinds (if using), and chopped pickles or jalapeños.
Drizzle mayo over the top. Add cilantro and hot sauce if using.
Serve fresh and eat right away.
Swap pork rinds with pumpkin seeds or almonds if you don’t have any.
You can use canned salmon or shredded chicken instead of tuna.
For extra heat, add jalapeños or chili flakes.
Store leftover tuna-avocado mix in the fridge with plastic wrap pressed against the top to reduce browning.
Best eaten fresh. Don’t store fully assembled bowl.
