An incredibly fresh tuna salad served in pitted avocado halves. The salad is a simple combination of Bella Portofino Yellowfin tuna, green olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, Italian parsley, and fresh lime juice. The flavor of these Tuna Avocado Boats reminds me of a classic Nicoise salad, and is bright in flavor and full of texture!

Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the tuna mixture into the pitted avocado halves (if desired, you can scoop out a small amount of the avocado to create more space for salad). Garnish with microgreens as desired, and a light squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
