Instructions
Tuna Salad:
Combine tuna, mayonnaise, onion, and pickles or pickle relish in a bowl and stir well to combine.
Choose from one of these preparation styles:
Fancy Tomato Cups:
Using tomatoes on the vine, slice tomatoes in half and hollow out, removing seeds to form cups. Fill each tomato cup with 1/4 of the tuna salad mixture.
Place two tomato halves on a plate with sliced avocado and cucumber.
If desired, serve on top of leaf lettuce with assorted olives and garnished with chopped parsley.
Diced Salad:
Place tuna salad and diced Roma tomato, diced cucumber and diced avocado together in a bowl. You can either mix the vegetables all together and top with the tuna salad or place each individual component is separate quadrants.
If desired, garnish with olives and chopped parsley. Make it really fancy by serving in a lettuce bowl.
Serves two as a light lunch or four as a side salad.
Notes
A note on tuna can sizes: 7-ounce cans can be found at Costco, but the standard size can found in most grocery stores is 5-ounces, so you may need to adjust these proportions accordingly.
