Avocado and Lime Tuna Salad
Original recipe from Tony Fed: http://www.fitnessinanevolutionarydirection.com/2012/03/caveman-cuisine-avocado-and-lime-tuna.html
Perhaps my dismissive position on dishes like "egg salad", "tuna salad", and "pasta salad" was a bit harsh (see "Egg Salad"). Honestly, I actually like the way they taste (excepting of course pasta salad which I think is unbearably nasty) and my only real issue is the use of the word "salad" in describing them.
I feel a sense of consternation (much like Micky Rooney did with literally everything) when I see "chicken salad" offered on a salad. Why not simply say, "Hey, it's a salad with chicken on it and by the way, we mixed a bunch of other stuff into the chicken." Admittedly that makes things even more complicated and maybe I'm stretching this bit out because I want to feel productive and boost my "daily word count", but maybe, just maybe, I'm right.
In any case, here's a delightful recipe for a simple tuna salad.
