Begin by cutting the avocado in half. Gently remove the pit, then carefully cut the flesh into small cubes. Place these lovely avocado cubes into a bowl.

Now, let's move on to the cucumber. Chop it up into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the same bowl as the avocado.
-
Grab the red onion and cut it into half rings. Add these delightful rings to the bowl with the avocado and cucumber.

Next, we'll tackle the tuna. Drain the water from the can, then grab a fork and gently mash the tuna. Add this mashed tuna goodness to the bowl with the other ingredients.

It's time to enhance the flavors with some fresh parsley. Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad.

Drizzle the salad with the juice of 1⁄2 a lemon. This tangy addition will bring a delightful zing to the dish.

Drizzle some olive oil over the salad to bring it all together. Give it a gentle toss to ensure everything is nicely coated.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, according to your taste preferences. Give it another gentle mix to evenly distribute the flavors.

Note
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute it with fresh dill or cilantro.
- You can also add some chopped cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, or red bell peppers for additional flavor and texture.
- If you want to make this salad ahead of time, I recommend waiting to add the avocado until just before serving to prevent it from browning.
- This recipe is also easily customizable to your taste preferences. If you prefer a tangier salad, add more lemon juice. If you like it spicy, add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
