When it's really hot outside, nothing tastes better to me than a salad like this Tomato Salad with Avocado, Tuna, Cilantro, and Lime. The salad started as a lunch inspired by the need to use up some cilantro, but I added juicy cherry tomatoes, avocado, Italian tuna, and and a dressing with lime juice and it turned out to be a salad recipe I'm sure I'll be making over and over.
I used my favorite Tonno Genova Italian tuna packed in olive oil, which is probably one of the reasons this tasted so good to me. This brand is much less expensive than the imported olive oil packed tuna, and after I found it last summer, I used it in so many salads and never got tired of eating it. And I used a generous amount of tuna in proportion to the other ingredients for protein and to keep the carbs relatively low, since tomatoes aren't all that low in carbs.
For years I grew cherry tomatoes in my garden and had a hard time using them up when they started to ripe all at once, so if you're having a cherry tomato explosion at your house, this salad is an easy and delicious way to use them. Of course I love the cilantro here, but for cilantro avoiders, I'd use use a little more sliced green onion!
