Tuna salad is a classic American dish that has been around for centuries. It's typically made with canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, and onion. While tuna salad is a delicious and nutritious meal, it can be a bit heavy and greasy. This air fryer tuna and avocado salad is a lighter and healthier take on the classic dish. The tuna is cooked in the air fryer until flaky, which gives it a crispy outer layer and a moist and tender interior. The avocado adds a creamy texture and healthy fats, and the red onion and celery add a bit of crunch and flavor. The mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper add the finishing touches to this delicious and satisfying salad.
