Salmon-Stuffed Avocados

Drescription

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 an easy no-cook meal.

Ingredients

• 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
• 2 avocados
• chopped chives for garnish

Directions

1. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup celery, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Add 10 ounces salmon and mix well.
2. Halve 2 avocados lengthwise and remove pits. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of flesh from each avocado half into a small bowl. Mash the scooped-out avocado flesh with a fork and stir into the salmon mixture.
3. Fill each avocado half with about 1/4 cup of the salmon mixture, mounding it on top of the avocado halves. Garnish with chives, if desired.
