Expert Tips

To broil tuna, place on oiled broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once or twice.

Salmon or halibut steaks can be used in place of the tuna.

Tuna is an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids, and avocado is high in monounsaturated fat. Both food components may help to reduce the risk of heart disease.

A blender can be used instead of the food processor. Combine the ingredients as directed; cover and blend until smooth.
