Amazing Tuna Salad


Serves 2

2 cans solid white tuna, fully drained (dry as possible)
2-3 tsp. dried dill (can use fresh, but amount may need adjustment)
3 Tbsp. finely diced onion
Juice of 1 baby lemon (small)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. Lawry's seasoned salt (or to taste)
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced right before serving

Garnish:
Paprika
Sprig of fresh Dill, Basil or Parsley

Directions:

Flake tuna with a fork into mixing bowl. Add dill, onion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and Lawry's. Mix fully. Divide into two parts. Pack a small bowl or cup with one part.

On your salad plate place 5 thin slices of tomato in a ring. Invert tuna bowl over center of tomato ring, and carefully shake loose.

Sprinkle top with Paprika and garnish with fresh avocado slices - be sure to slice avocado immediately before serving to prevent browning.

Serve and enjoy!

I don't see why not....The only thing is to figure out how to make it moist. Let me know if you figure out what to substitute!

You could alo just reduce the amount of mayo if you're not finding a creative substitute....
