Tuna Avocado Dip



I can imagine your faces are you ponder the title of this post. Tuna avocado...WHAT?! Yes...and it's really good. Not a strong tuna taste or aroma. Surprisingly, avocado is a nice substitute to mayo.

You can replace tuna with your prefer "meat" like chicken or some of the kind of seafood.


Tuna Avocado Dip

1 can tuna in oil
1 medium ripe avocado (pitted and lightly mashed)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
salt & pepper to season


Drain the tuna of most, but not all, of the oil. Mix all ingredients together.

Serve with slices of french bread or crackers. You can even spread this on a sandwich.

Both Tuna and Avocado are my favourite ingredients, will definitely give this dip a try, thank you very much for sharing, Jenn!!

Pam said...

You are so creative - I would never have thought to put tuna and avocado together. Great photo.

Very unusual combo-love avocado and tuna,but would never have dreamt of combining the two :)

Reeni said...

Love the two together. I have been craving avocado something bad today! This looks great!

Dana Fallentine said...

Looks delicious!

The Duo Dishes said...

Yes, that is an unusual combination. The mix sounds interesting for a nice buttery cracker. Might as well use a fat that's good for you instead of mayo.

I'm having this for lunch tomorrow, AWESOME idea!

Patty said...

Oh - that looks really good to me! I don't like mayo, so this has to go on the to-make list for this summer. I'll definitely have to give it a try!

Justin said...

I'm a tuna guy, so I'm curious about this.

doggy: Really? I think it's great. why haven't I done this before.

Kenny: Thanks.

Pam: It just occured to me. Experimentation gone right, I guess.

Sweta: It's a odd duo, but sometimes odd things go well together.

Reeni: Why not try this? hehehe...=)

Dana: Thanks.

Duo Dishes: right? good fat vs. bad fat. Which would you choose.

Teresa: Enjoy!

McTatty: There you go. An alternative to mayo in a tuna salad.

Justin: I think You'll like it.

Jen: Chicken would definitely go great with this.

Sapuche said...

That person whose face you were imagining as he or she read the title of your post was apparently mine! Wow, what a surprising combination. But as I think about it, it sounds really good, and not strange at all!

Jenn said...

sapuche: After it sinks in a bit, it doesn't become as weird sounding.

Anonymous said...

green tuna, eh? that puts a whole different spin on boring old tuna salad! I'm not much of an avocado fan, but I imagine mixed with tuna, the blandness of avocado that I hate won't be there! I think I'm really going to try this combo sometime!

Anonymous said...

Interesting combination - I love both so I'm definitely giving it a try! Thanks!

Jenn said...

burpandslurp: at least it's a change from the brown tuna color. lol

5 Star Foodie: Anytime!

Tangled Noodle said...
