📝 Ingredients

2 (5 oz) cans tuna in olive oil, drained
1 large ripe avocado
2 tbsp full-fat mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1-2 tsp hot sauce (like Cholula or Tabasco), to taste
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
Optional: 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion or jalapeño

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until mostly smooth but still a little chunky.
2
Add the drained tuna to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
3
Stir in the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.
4
If using, add the finely chopped red onion or jalapeño. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
5
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately with keto-friendly dippers like celery sticks, bell pepper strips, or cucumber slices, or store in an airtight container.

💡 Notes

For best results, consume within 2-3 days. The lime juice helps prevent the avocado from browning. For an extra creamy texture, use an immersion blender for a few pulses.
