I was honored when Bella Portofino Tuna reached out to have me create a recipe using their delicious tuna. I knew I needed a special recipe, something that Mr. Fearless Dining and I could easily incorporate into our "healthy eating" New Year's goals.
With all of the sweets around because of my blogging, we are making a promise to each other to eat healthier!

Let's get back to this tasty Tuna Avocado Salad. When you make this recipe, choose the best avocado for stuffing.
When I am in the store, I touch the avocados to find one that is slightly firm, yet a little soft to the touch. Remove the stem, and if there is a slight green under the dried stem, it is a good avocado!
If you need to ripen the avocado, place it into a paper bag for a few hours to a day!
Ingredients:
You can see the quality of Bella Portofino's Solid Yellow Fin Tuna in this shot. This recipe doesn't need fancy bells and whistles. The tuna is the highlight and I chose flavors to showcase Bella Portofino's tuna.
Bok Choy is a great choice if you don't want the strong flavor of celery in your salad. Bok Choy adds Vitamins A and C to this dish!
