Tuna and Avocado Salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. Tuna and avocado salad is a typical summer dish—very light and diet-friendly. I love that it takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare, yet turns out incredibly delicious. Maybe it's because I simply adore canned tuna—but either way :) The recipe is quite flexible, so feel free to adjust ingredient quantities and proportions to your taste. Improvisation, as they say, is highly encouraged :) Garnish if desired and serve.
