AVOCADO TUNA SALAD LETTUCE WRAPS

I’ve just been busy taking care of some admin. work for the blog, shooting and editing some videos, etc., etc.
And next Tuesday I leave for 6 days for Orlando. I’m going to on a blogger’s retreat with a bunch of wonderful bloggers. Make sure you’re following me on social media because I’ll be posting my adventures and you’ll be able to see me in Disney and Universal Studios.

These Avocado Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps make for a great lunch when you’re trying to watch what you eat. If you’re really concerned about the use of mayonnaise in it, you can Google substitutes, too. I like the idea of using hummus instead.
My mom always made tuna salad when I was little with the mayo and sweet relish. I decided to change up her recipe and add the avocado like I did similar to these Avocado Tuna Salad Bites with just a little bit extra for flavor.



With a large sharp knife, cut lengthwise all around the avocado and then pull the two halves apart.
Hit the seed with the bottom of the knife so that it sticks into it. Slowly twist the knife to pull the seed out and discard.
Slice into one half of the avocado, making lines going lengthwise and down into the peel, being careful not to cut through (don’t want to lose a finger!).
Next, make slices going the opposite way down to the peel/shell, so that you’ve created cubes as you can see above.
Using a spoon, gently dig into the avocado, removing the cubes as you scoop.
TA DA!!
