This Simple Avocado Tuna Salad is my go-to no-cook recipe. All you need to do is add a few veggies and you have a really healthy AIP diet friendly meal.
How to make tuna salad with avocado?
It’s really simple! Just swap mayo for avocado. I find that just avocado and tuna can be a bit dull so I like to add some shallot and lemon juice to add a bit of flavor. It keeps the recipe simple but also super flavorful.
Not sure what to do with canned tuna?
Avocado tuna salad is the obvious and traditional American dish made from canned tuna. However there are a lot of other ways to use it. If you’re looking for more canned tuna recipes that are AIP check out these links.

loved and my family loved. Will make a lot and try the salmon at some point too. Thank you!!
Yeah! I'm glad it was a crowd pleaser. Let me know what you think once you try it with salmon!
I doubled this recipe because I knew I would want leftovers — I had the first portion on top of a salad and the next night, on top of seeded wheat toast. Delicious, versatile, super nutritious and took only 5 minutes to prepare! Will definitely be making this again 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad you liked it.
