Ingredients

4 cans tuna I like Wild Planet
1 recipe homemade avocado mayo
1 lemon juiced
2 stalks celery diced
1/2 onion finely diced
Handful fresh herbs optional
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Make a batch of my favorite homemade avocado mayo. I promise you it is super simple.
In a large bowl, add canned tuna (drain, if needed) and mayo.Dice onions and celery. If you have kids, I suggest dicing the onions into really small pieces. Chop herbs and add to bowl. This step is totally optional, but fresh herbs add so much brightness and flavor to the salad.
Squeeze lemon juice over the top.Mix well and serve.

Notes

Fresh cilantro is my favorite herb to add, but you could also add a handful of fresh parsley or basil.
This recipe utilizes my favorite homemade avocado mayo. You could substitute it for store-bought, if needed. Always opt for avocado mayo, because most other types are made with unhealthy, refined vegetable oils.
For extra lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon.
