Ingredients
  

  • 2 (4½-ounce) cans Portofino Solid Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil chunked (not drained)
  • ½ small red onion finely diced (roughly ¼ cup)
  • 8 pitted green Castelvetrano olives chopped
  • 8 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice plus more for serving
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the tuna along with its olive oil.
  • Gently stir in the diced red onion, chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, and lime juice.
  • Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. If desired, scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh to create more room for the tuna mixture.

  • Top with microgreens for garnish and give everything a light squeeze of lime juice before serving.
  • Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.
