Tuna Avocado Toast

Serves One

• 2 slices of bread
• 1 small, ripe avocado
• 1 (5oz) can oil-packed tuna
• 1tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
• Kosher salt
• Fresh ground pepper

1. Toast 2 slices of bread however you want (toaster, broiler, pan).
2. Halve, pit, and peel 1 small ripe avocado and add to a bowl with 1 drained (5-ounce/140g) can oil-packed tuna, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a big pinch each of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Mash with a fork until it’s as smooth or chunky as you want, adjust the seasonings to taste, then divide between the toast.
4. Finish with another squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. (Psst: If you want a more avocado-y situation, you can use a large avocado, then stretch to 3 to 4 slices.)
