Tuna Twist

A new invention & it's SO delicious and nutritious. [picture coming]

I know.  It looks goob-y.  But it tastes delicious!
Tuna Twist Salad [2-3 servings]

1 can tuna (7oz; albacore in water)
1/2 a large, ripe avocado
5-6 cherry tomatoes quartered (or a normal one all chopped up)
medium to hot salsa (we like smokey stuff like chipotle or roasted types) to taste (1/4 c. or so)
grated cheese (optional)
2 T. mayo (optional--go ahead and add it if you have the good, homemade stuff)

Mix it all together in a bowl (stick the tomatoes in towards the end or they get mushed; I don't like mushed tomatoes).  The avocado replaces the typical mayo for a creamy, stick-it-together substance.

You can serve it with lettuce on bread, on a pan-grilled bagel with butter (my favorite!), wrap (low-carb!), green salad (lower carb!), or use it as a chip dip.

It really doesn't taste very "fishy" and can easily be adapted to be more or less spicy and dairy-free and/or gluten free.

Enjoy!!!
