Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients (through olive oil.) Adjust seasoning if desired.
You may need to widen the cavity of the avocados by pushing the flesh in a bit, to make enough room for the tuna salad. Or you can remove a little if you'd like, and save it for another use. You can also cut a thin slice out off the bottom of the avocado so it is more stable when served. After preparing avocado, squeeze a little lime juice over each and sprinkle with a little kosher salt.
Fill with tuna salad, drizzle with a little olive oil, another squeeze of lime, and then add salt & pepper to taste.
