cleanfood: Salmon-Stuffed Avocados

 

Canned salmon is a valuable pantry staple and a practical way to include heart-healthy omega-3-rich fish in your diet. Here, we combine it with avocados in an easy no-cook meal.

Recipe: 

Ingredients

• ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• ½ cup diced celery

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• ⅛ teaspoon salt

• ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

• 2 (5 ounce) cans salmon, drained, flaked, skin and bones removed

• 2 avocados

• Directions

  1. Step: Combine yogurt, celery, parsley, lime juice, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Add salmon and mix well.

  2. Step 2: Halve avocados lengthwise and remove pits. Scoop about 1 tablespoon flesh from each avocado half into a small bowl. Mash the scooped-out avocado flesh with a fork and stir into the salmon mixture.

  3. Step 3: Fill each avocado half with about 1/4 cup of the salmon mixture, mounding it on top of the avocado halves. Garnish with chives, if desired.
