0.5 bunch fresh cilantro stems removed
0.25 cup mayonnaise homemade or Tessamaes - substitute Greek yogurt if you prefer
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
sea salt and pepper to taste

Place all of the dressing ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Cut each avocado in half, lengthwise, and remove the pit.
Mix the tuna, bell pepper, green onions and dressing in a bowl.
Fill each avocado half with tuna mixture and sprinkle with cheese, if using. Serve immediately.

If you have time, the tuna salad tastes even better after it has been chilling in the fridge for a while.Drizzle with a splash of olive oil or a homemade citrus dressing to enhance the freshness even more.
Place any unused portions of tuna salad in the refrigerator until needed. You can fill your avocados as needed if not eating all four servings at once.
Any cheese including sharp cheddar, Cojito, or Pepper-Jack would be delicious as well.
Don’t have tuna, substitute cooked shrimp or chicken.
I usually make a double batch of the cilantro lime dressing so I have extra for salads, a dipping sauce or extra avocado cups.
For Paleo & Whole30 omit the cheese.
