Salmon-Stuffed Avocados
This super-easy recipe for salmon-stuffed avocado is ready in minutes — with no cooking or complicated prep required! Perfect for lunch or dinner, and loaded with bone-friendly nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 10 oz canned salmon, drained*
- 2 avocados
- chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the salmon, yogurt, celery, parsley, lime juice, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out 1 tbsp of the flesh from each avocado half and place it in a separate bowl. Mash the flesh with a fork, then stir it into the salmon mixture.
- Fill each avocado half with about ¼ cup of the salmon mixture, so that it creates a small mound. Garnish with chives, if you like.
Notes
If you’re making a meal just for yourself and you don’t want leftovers (because no one enjoys brown avocado!), simply use half the ingredients.
*Many people don’t enjoy eating the bones in canned salmon. If you’re one of them, just discard the bones before mixing the salmon with the rest of the ingredients. (You can also find brands with the bones already removed.) Keep in mind, though, that the bones are an excellent source of calcium.
