What kind of tuna is best for Tuna Salad?
For this specific recipe, we like to use solid white albacore tuna in water. You also want to make sure it doesn’t have any added salt. This tuna won’t alter the taste or texture it already gets from the quick and easy dressing.
Tips and Substitutions:
- Add avocado when serving if making ahead- So that avocado doesn’t brown
- Add dressing when serving too- Add lime juice, oil, salt and pepper when you are ready to serve if you are making this salad ahead. This will prevent cucumbers and tomatoes from losing their crispiness and getting soggy.
- Substitute for parsley- You can use fresh cilantro.
- Add onions for extra crunchiness- If you like onions, add red onion or Pickled Red Onions are a great in this salad too.
Meal Prepping it:
This Tuna Avocado Salad is best if served right away. However, you can make it ahead and it will last in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just don’t add the avocado or dressing until you are ready to serve.
