Tuna boats

Lunch today was tuna boats .

An easy recipe that I’m sure avocado would have made those who enjoy it even better.  Unfortunately I do not like avocado but I have listed it in the ingredients. 

I am substituting green and black halved olives in this recipe for the Avocado.

This was so good and I served with some mini naan bread.  Enjoy!

• ***¼ avocado
• ***4 green olives
• 3 black olives
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• ***1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• Pinch black pepper
• Pinch sea salt
• ½ tablespoon water
• ***3 ounces chunk light tuna, canned in water(I used albacore white tuna in water)
• 8 grape tomatoes, quartered
• ¼ cup finely minced yellow onion
• ***½ cup instant brown rice or frozen, precooked, thawed brown rice***I substituted cooked barley because that was all I had.
• 4 outer romaine leaves or other greens

What to do: In a small food processor, puree avocado with garlic, vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, black pepper, sea salt, and water until smooth.

Toss with tuna, tomatoes, onion, and brown rice.

Fill romaine leaves or other greens with mixture, roll up, and enjoy.
