You will need just a few simple fresh ingredients to make this delicious salad recipe. I’ll share a list below in the printable recipe card but if you want to check your fridge or pantry we will be using cucumbers, avocado, red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, canned tuna, and lemon pepper seasoning!

This is a really quick recipe to throw together. Once you make it a time or two you’ll be hooked!
