Storage:
The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The avocado will start to brown over time, so it’s best to eat it fresh. If storing, you can squeeze a little extra lemon juice on top to help preserve the color.

Variations:
Add Fresh Herbs: Add fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill for an added burst of flavor.
Include More Veggies: Add chopped bell peppers, carrots, or spinach for extra crunch and nutrition.
Make it Spicy: For a spicy kick, add a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the salad ahead of time. However, due to the avocado, it’s best to store it for no more than 1-2 days to maintain freshness.

Q: Can I use a different type of tuna?
A: Absolutely! You can use any type of tuna you prefer, whether it’s packed in water or oil, or even substitute with salmon if you prefer.

Q: How can I make this salad more filling?
A: To make this salad more filling, add a serving of mixed greens, or serve it with a side of whole-grain bread or crackers.
