Stuffed Avocado with Tuna

Today's lunch is a stuffed avocado with tuna for two.  A simple, delicious and rich dish for lunch.  You'll need the following ingredients:
Large Avocado
Can of Tuna
2 Tablespoons of Mayonaise
1/2 lemon
Black olives or a radish
Salt

Look for Florida avocados. They are much larger than the California avocado and richer in taste. Are you ready to prepare this with me?  Open a can of spring tuna. Drain the water from the can. Put the tuna in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of mayonaise. Mix until tuna is creamy. Next cut the avocado in half. Clean out any brown spots to make the center clean. Then add the tuna mix inside the avocado, making sure the center is full.  Clean up any tuna that might have slipped from the center and pile on top. Then take half of a lemon and squeeze the juice on top of the tuna. If you like you can sprinkle a dash of salt around the tuna. You can top of the tuna with a slice of radish or several black olives. Serve on a peach shaped bowl or a round dish plate with a teaspoon. 
*Save the seed and plant it in your backyard. You'll have an avocado tree sprouting in a few months and a large tree in a few years. Approximately 300 calories for half of an avocado.
