Notes

For a creamier texture, gently flake the tuna into smaller pieces. If feeding little ones who dislike onion, reduce the amount or rinse briefly to soften the bite. For make-ahead prep, keep diced cucumber and onion in the fridge for up to a day and store diced avocado separately to avoid browning.
