Tuna has always been a go-to for my family when we’re looking for something healthy and delicious. So when I discovered StarKist Selects E.V.O.O., packed in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, I knew it was something we’d love!

StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. comes in pouches featuring wild caught Yellowfin Tuna with Sun-dried Tomato, Yellowfin Tuna and Pink Salmon. As I understand it, tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil is very common in other countries, so, wanting to see what all the fuss is about, I used StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. Yellowfin Tuna to create an easy Avocado Tuna Salad!

Served in an avocado half, this light meal is clean, healthy and perfect for lunch or a simple dinner. Serve over fresh arugula or spring mix!

The extra virgin olive oil in StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. gives the tuna a rich flavor and tender texture. As I mentioned, tuna in olive oil is very common in many parts of the world, and I’m so glad and it’s finally becoming more mainstream in America, as well!

I used common Mediterranean ingredients to make this tuna salad, but the recipe is completely customizable. Create a traditional tuna salad if that’s your go-to, or make up your own tuna recipe using your favorite ingredients (white beans, eggs, chickpeas, bell peppers, fresh peas…anything goes)!

Full printable recipe and shopping list are below! Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 Pouches StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. Yellowfin Tuna

I love the mellow flavor of StarKist Selects E.V.O.O., due mostly to the addition of extra virgin olive oil.
