Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these stuffed avocados (along with notes and substitution options):
Avocados – The larger the avocados, the better! But this recipe easily works with small ones, too.
Plain Greek Yogurt – Any type of plain yogurt works great. You can also make this dairy-free with a plant-based plain yogurt, instead!
Celery – Chop the celery as small as possible for best results.
Spinach – Same note on the spinach, chop it into tiny pieces if possible.
Tuna – I used canned, wild-caught tuna packed in water. Just make sure to drain it first!
Salt/Pepper – Add salt and pepper to taste.
Sriracha – The sriracha drizzle on top is everything! If you’re sensitive to spicy things, you can just add a few drops and spread it over the mixture (or even add it straight into the filling).
Chopped Walnuts (optional) – The chopped walnuts on top are optional, but trust me on this: they add SO much to this recipe! The crunchy texture balances out the creaminess of everything and it’s incredibly good. I highly recommend!
Cilantro (optional) – I love adding a little bit of fresh cilantro on top to balance out the spicy flavors!
