Canned salmon is a valuable pantry staple
and a practical way to include heart-
healthy omega-3-rich fish in your diet.
Here, we combine it with avocados in a
simple no-cook meal.
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
½ cup diced celery
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp. lime juice
2 tsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
2 5-oz. cans salmon, drained,
flaked, skin and bones removed
2 avocados
Chopped chives for garnish
- Combine yogurt, celery, parsley, lime
juice, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and
pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Add
salmon and mix well.
- Halve avocados lengthwise and re
move pits. Scoop about 1 tablespoon
flesh from each avocado half into a
small bowl. Mash the scoopedout
avocado flesh with a fork and stir into
the salmon mixture.
- Fill each avocado half with about ¼
cup of the salmon mixture, mounding it
on top of the avocado halves. Garnish
with chives, if desired.
