Bacon Tuna Boats


Bacon Tuna Boats (Mayo-Free!)

Bacon Tuna Boats | Popular PaleoI am loving my lunch today. A bottle of Cherry Chia kombucha and these cute little Bacon Tuna Boats. My favorite element is the use of avocado in place of mayonnaise as a binder for the tuna salad. The creamy, mild flavor brings the salad together perfectly with that nutritious boost we love about avocados. Light, fast and fresh!
Ingredients:
10 oz canned tuna fish
1/2 cup cooked, chopped bacon
2 scallions, thinly sliced (roughly 1/3 cup when sliced)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 rib celery, small dice (roughly a half cup)
1 tsp Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning Blend
1 ripe avocado
squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about a teaspoon)
a few grinds of black pepper, to taste
2 English cucumbers
Prep:
Start with your mis en place–slice the scallions, dice the celery and chop the parsley and cooked bacon. Open the cans of tuna fish and add to a large mixing bowl. Next add the scallions, bacon, celery, parsley and Mrs. Dash seasoning blend. Combine these ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mash an avocado with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about a teaspoon) into a sauce that resembles guacamole.
Add the avocado mash to the tuna and combine well.  A few grinds of black pepper will finish the salad off, add according to your preference and mix one last time.
