Tuna Caprese Avocado Toast
We all have our favorite chicken and tuna recipes, but this Tuna Caprese Avocado Toast will have you licking your lips even before your first bite!
This twist on the trendy avocado toast is more than delightful. I don't care much for trendy, but I do care about taste. And when something tastes this good, then its worth sharing!
Make it- Start with Good Quality Tuna:
I love that this recipe takes lean protein packed tuna (which now comes in an EZ-Open can, woohoo!) and combines it with some of my favorite garden fresh veggies. Making it easy and healthy. And we all know how hard it is to get those two words in the same sentence!
This recipe starts with a good quality can or packet of tuna. I was especially pleased to see Chicken of the Sea‘s recent design change. Their EZ-Open cans are great time savers, and when you consider portability – there's just not another option for me. Who wants to clean another gadget? Not me! If you're as busy as I am, this is perfect for you too!
I like Chicken of the Sea tuna for it's flavor. Alternately, if you're watching your sodium intake, the StarKist Low Sodium Solid White Tuna gets my vote. It only has 120 mg sodium, vs 180 mg per serving (and UP) for Chicken of the Sea and off brands. Honestly tuna is one of those things I do choose a name brand for. It's not much difference in price, and I feel like the flavor of these two name brands is worth the extra few cents per can.
Tuna Caprese Avocado Toast- Adding Avocado:
This is kid friendly (As long as they like guacamole!). If you haven't tried tuna and avocado together, now is a great time to try it out! I love the colors of this appetizer. It's a great light lunch if you are trying to get a protein and some healthy fats into your diet, but don't want all the carbs of sandwich bread!
The taste of ripe avocados and fresh tomatoes can't be beat!
