Step-by-Step Instructions for Green Goddess Tuna Salad
- Begin by opening the can of tuna and drain off any excess liquid. Place the drained tuna in a medium-sized mixing bowl, using a fork to break it apart gently.
- In a separate bowl, take a ripe avocado and cut it in half. Scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork until it’s creamy and smooth.
- To the mashed avocado, add the plain Greek yogurt—or additional avocado if you prefer a vegan option. Mix them together until you achieve a homogenous blend.
- Stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice and minced garlic into the avocado-yogurt blend until fully incorporated.
- Finely chop fresh parsley and basil before gently folding them into the mixture.
- Fold in the flaked tuna gently, making sure not to overmix.
- Dice a cucumber and bell pepper, then incorporate these crunchy vegetables into the salad.
- Taste the salad and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- If you have time, cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Green Goddess Tuna Salad immediately, or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
