It's no surprise to most I love avocado. Especially if you follow me on Instagram (and if you don't please do). Most days I feature avocado in my meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, it's not fat free, but it's  a really healthy food and fat, you really do not need to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been avoiding Avocado because you believe it to be really high in fat. You need to read my post about Avocado on Slimmingd<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Where I bust all the myths surrounding avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocado really is such an amazing ingredients, it's super creamy and is great as a replacement for butter or mayonnaise in a variety of recipes, add a little sea salt and it transforms into something magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favourite breakfasts is mashed avocado on toast, with baby spinach, perfect scrambled eggs and slices of ripe tomatoes with a sprinkling of black pepper - pure perfection!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently I shared a pic of my lunch on Instagram - a delicious Tuna Avocado salad and got flooded with messages for the recipe. So I knew I had to get it onto the blog for you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocado is great mixed with tuna in place of mayonnaise. You get a lot more quantity for the points and its perfect served with my crispy homemade toasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you could just serve with some Ryvita or on toast, but making the crispy toasts, makes your healthy extra go that little bit further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just lightly toast 2 regular slices of whole wheat (wholemeal) bread, you want the bread to weight a little more than the 60g (2oz) allowance, as you will be removing the crusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once lightly toasted, remove the crusts, and using a sharp knife, slide it through the centre of each slice of bread, so you now have 4 thin slices of toast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then slice into triangles, place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and then spray over the top with some spray oil and bake in the oven until crisp and golden all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These then make yummy little crackers, to scoop up that delicious Tuna Avocado Salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great way to serve this is on some toast,  topped with a poached egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
