Notes
Tuna salad is very versatile! You can add or subtract the fats, mayo and avocado, to your preference. You can also add more pickles if you like it crunchier and zingier.
I love to serve this tuna salad right inside of half of an avocado, but you can also cut the avocad and serve it alongside the tuna salad in a wrap or on a sandwich for some extra carbs, if desired.
