  • Total Time: 15 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon Mixture

  • 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

Avocado

  • 2 avocados

Garnish

  • Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, diced celery, chopped fresh parsley, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
  2. Add Salmon: Add the drained, flaked salmon to the mixture, making sure any skin or bones are removed beforehand. Stir gently to integrate the salmon well without breaking it down too much.
  3. Prepare Avocados: Halve the avocados lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the flesh from each avocado half and place it into a small bowl.
  4. Mash Avocado Flesh: Mash the scooped avocado flesh with a fork until smooth, then stir this mashed avocado into the salmon mixture. This step adds creaminess and enhances the texture of the filling.
  5. Stuff Avocados: Fill each avocado half with approximately ¼ cup of the salmon mixture. Pile the mixture slightly on top so that it mounds attractively above the avocado halves.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle chopped chives on top for a fresh, colorful garnish. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.
  • Ensure salmon is well drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • Avocados should be ripe but firm to hold the stuffing well.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to prevent avocados from browning.
  • For added texture, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top.
