Ingredients

1 ripe avocado
1 can (5 oz) of tuna, packed in water, drained
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (choose a low-fat option for fewer carbs)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. You can scoop out a bit of the flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for the tuna salad.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, celery, red onion, and fresh parsley.
In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Take each avocado half and stuff it generously with the tuna salad mixture. Press it down slightly to fill the cavity completely.
Optional: You can sprinkle some additional chopped parsley or a dash of paprika on top for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve your Tuna Salad in Avocado Halves on a plate, and there you have it – a delicious, low-carb, high-protein meal suitable for diabetics!
