Avocado Tuna Salad and Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

This salad and salad dressing is a staple in our house.  Both are super delicious, full of good fats and so satisfying.  We make this salad dressing in batches and just keep it in the fridge to use whenever.  I highly recommend you get into making your salad dressings so you can control what goes in it.  If you read the ingredient lists on a lot of the store bought salad dressings you are going to find a lot of added sugar and preservatives.   You won't need preservatives with this dressing because you are going to want to eat all right away.  


With this particular salad, I dressed the greens, topped it with the tuna salad, added some chopped yellow bell peppers, and then finished with a sprinkle of paprika.  Feel free to add any of your favorite veggies to it.  

Avocado Tuna Salad

  • 1 can of tuna packed in water
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dry tarragon
  • 1 tbsp capers, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Scoop out your avocado into a bowl, add a 1/2 tsp of salt and lemon juice.  Using the back of a fork mash the avocado until it is a creamy consistency with maybe a few chunks left in it.  
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix together.  
  3. Serve on top of a bed of your favorite greens or use to make a tuna melt, or just eat plain it's delicious no matter what you do!
