Tuna and Avocado Salad - Paleo, and I wasn't even trying...

Today I whipped up this salad for lunch.  As Mr. Man and I were enjoying it, I realized, hey, this is Paleo.

Paleo diets are all the rage and I have had quite a few people ask if I can prepare meals following the paleo diet (aka eating like a caveman).  (p.s. the answer is yes, I can cook according to any diet you like.)

The kicker to this tuna salad is to replace the mayo with avocado.  Simple, easy and super delicious.

Tuna Avocado Salad

serves 2 for lunch

1 can of tuna (splurge on the good stuff, it's worth it)
1 avocado
1 roasted red pepper, diced
pinch of garlic powder
pinch of salt
dash of pepper

1. Mash the avocado.
2. Gently fold in remaining ingredients.

Told you it was easy.

I served it over some dressed greens (spinach, with a bit of good olive oil, salt and pepper) and sliced cucumbers.  Also a few crackers (even though they aren't "paleo").

You could put lots of goodies in this tuna, maybe a dash of lemon juice, some celery for crunch,  red pepper flake to spice it up... so many possibilities.

What do you think of the Paleo diet?
