“Tuna-Less” Stuffed Avocado Served with fresh Lamb’s lettuce
Assembling the stuff avocados

1 batch prepared Tuna-less (see recipe above)

Ingredients.

2-3 large ripe avocados (peeled and stoned)
1 bag Lamb’s Lettuce (about 10-12 ounces)
chili sauce (optional)
Preparation.
Fill avocado halves with generous scoops of prepared Tuna-less. I added a few drops of hot sauce to the inside of the avocado halves before adding the tuna-less mixture. Place prepared avocado halves on top of a large bed of fresh Lamb’s lettuce. Serve with drops of chili sauce or Sriracha sauce (my favorite) around the plate, or by itself. This is a very filling dish. (Note: you can store the pate for up to 3 days in a closed container inside the refrigerator).
