Ingredients:
- 2 cans (4.5 oz. each)Â Portofino Solid Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ small red onion (roughly ¼ cup), finely diced
- 8 chopped, pitted green olives
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
- 2 Tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more for drizzling
- 2 large, ripe avocados
- Kosher salt

Directions:
- Place the tuna in a medium mixing bowl. Add the red onion, olives, tomatoes, parsley and lime juice, and stir gently to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
