1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Prepare the Avocados: In a medium bowl, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a mixing bowl, making sure to keep the skins intact for serving. Set aside the avocado skins for later.

Mix the Tuna Salad: Add the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper to the bowl with the avocado flesh. Use a fork to mash the avocado and mix everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Add the Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped parsley into the tuna mixture. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Assemble the Lettuce Boats: Take the reserved avocado skins and fill each half generously with the avocado tuna salad mixture. Alternatively, you can scoop some of the mixture onto individual lettuce leaves.

Serve: Arrange the filled avocado halves or lettuce boats on a platter. Garnish with additional parsley or a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired.

Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing and nutritious meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner!
