Drain the Tuna: Begin by draining the albacore tuna from its can, ensuring that excess liquid is removed so your salad doesn’t become watery.
Mix the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, and juice from half a lime. Stir well until everything is evenly coated, adding salt to taste.
Prepare the Avocado: Peel and chop the avocado before placing it into another bowl. Squeeze lime juice over it to prevent browning, then lightly mash it with a fork while leaving some chunks for texture; season with salt as desired.
Layer Your Salad: On a plate, create a base layer using half of the mashed avocado followed by half of your seasoned tuna mixture on top. Finish this layer with some fresh pico de gallo salsa.
Serve and Repeat: Repeat the layering process for a second serving, ensuring each layer is beautifully presented. Enjoy your colorful and healthy Avocado Tuna Salad immediately!
