Ingredients
- 425 gm canned tuna (drained) (NOTE 1)
- 1 avocado (small dices) (NOTE 2)
- ½ small red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small tomato (finely chopped) (NOTE 3)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped pickled jalapeño (NOTE 4)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander (cilantro)
FOR THE DRESSING
- 2 tbsp whole egg mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk all the dressing ingredients together and set aside.
- In a large bowl add in the tuna, avocado, onion, tomato, jalapeño and coriander. Whisk the dressing and add it to the tuna mixture, mix to combine well. Taste the dip and if needed add more salt or pepper. Serve with corn chips, crackers or veggie sticks.
Notes
(NOTE 1) Canned tuna - Use good quality tuna chunks either in spring water or brine. Make sure to drain as much water as you can from the tuna so it won't dilute the taste of the dressing.
(NOTE 2) Avocado - For a creamier dip use a very ripe avocado.
(NOTE 3) Tomatoes - To prevent the dip from going 'watery' scoop out the seeds of the tomatoes before chopping and adding it to the dip.
(NOTE 4) Pickled jalapeño gives this dip heat, texture and zest. If preferred, fresh jalapeño can be used instead.
