Tuna Stuffed Avocado has THE BEST FLAVOR.

The avocado creates this creamy texture that blends perfectly with the salty albacore tuna and I’m all into the sweet crunch from the pecans and the bright tartness from the Montmorency tart cherries.

Also I’ve been known to sneak a couple extra tart cherries from the bag to toss at the bottom of this salad because I HAVE TO HAVE tart cherries in every mouthful, especially the last bite. There must be a tart cherry in the last bite.

It’s like a rule now thanks to this recipe.This salad only takes a couple seconds to toss it all together, and it’s super filling, which is likely why it ranks so high up on my lunch list.
