-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste

½ cup diced cucumber
-
½ cup shredded carrots

¼ cup diced red bell pepper
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion (optional)
Bowl Base (Choose One)
-
2 cups mixed greens
-
2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
Optional Toppings
-
Everything bagel seasoning
-
Fresh dill, chives, or parsley

Sriracha or chili crisp

Instructions
1. Mix the Tuna Base
In a medium bowl, combine drained tuna, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix well with a fork until creamy and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
2. Add the Avocado
Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it completely. You want soft chunks throughout the mixture.
3. Prepare the Veggies
Dice and shred all vegetables. If using grains, fluff them with a fork. If using greens, make sure they’re dry.
4. Assemble the Bowls
Divide your chosen base between two bowls.
Top with the tuna-avocado mixture and scatter the crunchy vegetables over the top.
Finish with any desired toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Drain tuna very well to prevent a watery mixture
-
Fold, don’t mash the avocado for best texture
- Assemble just before eating to keep avocado fresh
