This easy, 4 ingredient avocado tuna salad is a quick and healthy lunch that's great for babies and toddlers, and for mamas, too! Serve it on toast fingers for baby led weaning. (gluten-free, dairy-free)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 - 1 small ripe avocado (see notes)
  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna packed in water or oil, drained
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado. You can start with half and add more later, if needed.
  2. Add in the drained tuna and mash it to break up any large chunks.
  3. Squeeze in the juice from half a lime and add the cilantro. Stir to combine everything.
  4. If you want a creamier tuna salad, mash in the rest of the avocado until you get the desired consistency.

Notes

  • I start with half of the avocado. If, after mixing, it still looks a little dry or chunky, mash in the rest.
  • Feel free to add anything else baby-friendly, such as grated hard boiled egg, smashed chickpeas, or plain yogurt.
  • You can swap out the lime and cilantro for other combinations, such as lemon and basil, lemon and rosemary, or lime and mint.
  • This tuna salad doesn't store well because of the avocado. If you have leftovers, squeeze some more lime into it and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
