Let’s talk about avocados!
Avocados are one of my favorite foods. I almost always have a few setting out on my kitchen island. Avocados are a super keto food choice. They are high in fiber which results in them being low in net carbs. They’re also a wonderful way to add healthy fat into your diet. Nutrient wise, avocados provide us with a good source of folate, potassium, and vitamins B, C, E, and K. You have some great ways to incorporate avocados into your day. They can be eaten plain. I like to add a little salt to mine and sometimes a dash or two of hot sauce! They can be added to dips and salads, and are a great topping for burgers and keto sandwiches. You can add sliced avocados to any meal to make it extra special! I hope you’ll love your avocados stuffed with tuna as much as we do!
What ingredients go into the tuna salad for this keto tuna stuffed avocado dish?
We start with canned tuna. You can use either regular or albacore tuna for your tuna salad. Since we’re adding mayonnaise, I recommend using tuna packed in water and not in oil. I used the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil mayonnaise, but you can use any keto mayonnaise you’d like. We add one slice of fried and crumbled bacon; but I fry up two so I can top my avocado with the second one. The addition of just a little diced celery and onion gives our tuna salad a nice crunch and pop of flavor. I used red onion for my tuna salad, but you can use white or yellow onion if you’d prefer. I recommend you try your tuna salad and add salt and pepper to taste. If you’d like to make this spicy, you can add a little diced jalapeno, some red pepper flakes, or some hot sauce!
What are some ways I can serve this keto tuna stuffed avocado?
You can serve this stuffed avocado as a complete meal. You have some great options for topping your avocado. Some of my favorites are fried and crumbled bacon, fresh parsley, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese. You can also top yours with some diced jalapenos, cilantro, or green onions. You can also substitute with your favorite kind of cheese. If you’d like, you can serve this tuna stuff avocado with a keto salad or soup. You can serve this with some cheese whisps, keto crackers, or pork rinds to add a crunchy element!
