Note
For best texture, add the avocado and tomatoes just before serving to prevent browning and sogginess.
This dressing can be used as a stuffing for hollowed-out vegetables, a topping for grilled fish, or a filling for wraps.
If the mixture seems too dry, add a spoonful of the reserved tuna oil or a splash of olive oil.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the avocado may darken.
