Preparation
Step 1
Toast nuts on a dry skillet until golden. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 2
To drain tuna, I open the lid then press it down firmly over the tuna to drain off as much water as I can squeeze out. If your tuna is too wet, your salad will be wet.
Step 3
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of black pepper and 1/2 tsp lemon juice, or to taste. Add mayo to taste.
Step 4

Chef's notes
The surprising addition of green apple and avocado creates a nice contrast between the crisp tartness and delicious creaminess.
You can substitute celery for apples for a more traditional tuna salad.
