Tuna salad was a favorite of mine as a kid and still is today. Nothing quite beats a traditional tuna sandwich on white bread with a side of potato chips, but this stuffed avocados recipe sure gives the classic a run for its money. These tuna stuffed avocados are a simple combination of tuna salad and avocados, topped with crispy bacon, and drizzled with a slightly spicy mayo. They’re easy to make, loaded with healthy fats, high in protein, and satisfying.

Helpful Tips
- Avocado. Our star ingredient. It should be ripe and without blemishes or brown spots.
- Canned tuna. You can use white or light albacore tuna in water or olive oil, just make sure it’s fully drained.
- Golden balsamic vinegar. This adds flavor with an intense sweet/tart taste that complements the other ingredients. If you don’t have golden balsamic and don’t want to buy it, regular balsamic is perfectly fine.
