Avocado Tuna Snack Plate (Mediterranean Style)
Cook Once, Eat Twice!
Ingredients (2 servings):
Avocado Tuna
2 cans BB tuna, drained very well
1 medium avocado
2–3 tsp olive oil
2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (to taste)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper (optional)
For the Snack Plate
Plain pita chips
Crunchy veggies (mini peppers, cucumbers, carrots)
Fruit (apple slices or berries)
Green olives (about 4–6 per serving)
Za’atar, for finishing
Optional: 1 Laughing Cow wedge per plate
Directions:
1) Make the tuna salad: In a bowl, flake the tuna. Mash in the avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but still textured.
2) Taste & adjust: Add more lemon or olive oil if needed — it should be bright, not dry.
3) Build the plate: Spoon tuna into a small bowl or mound it slightly off-center on a plate. Arrange pita chips, veggies, fruit, and olives around it.
4) Finish: Sprinkle za’atar over the tuna and a few pita chips. Add a Laughing Cow wedge if using.
5) Store for later: Keep leftover tuna in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on top. Enjoy within 24–36 hours.
