    Tuna Cucumber Avocado Salad from Living Well Kitchen

    This recipe is one I created a few years ago, took pictures of, then forgot about and realized I didn't have exact measurements. Bah!

    It's also one that I did not feel sad about making again (and again if needed).

    It's light, refreshing, and filling.

    It's also quite versatile. Serve it with chips for a dip. Serve it over eggs as a salsa. Serve it over lettuce for a salad. Serve it between bread for a sandwich. Eat straight from the bowl.

    It makes a big bowl of salad, so you can keep it in the fridge for a few days to snack on.

    Since it's seafood, I wouldn't recommend keeping it longer than 3 days (if your fish is really fresh).

    I feel like seafood is best only when it is super fresh.

    The lime juice will do a little preserving, but I feel better to go ahead and eat it before it becomes iffy.

    Luckily, you won't have much trouble with that. It's too delicious to save or wait until later to enjoy!
