Is this tuna and avocado salad Whole30 compliant?

Yes, if you choose the right tuna! Check that your canned tuna has no soy or added sugars - simple water-packed works best. The avocado and lime are naturally Whole30-friendly. My grandma always used sustainable pole-caught varieties with olive oil for extra richness (just account for the fat macros).

Can I freeze leftovers?

Honestly? Don't do it! While the tuna would survive freezing fine, avocado turns weirdly mushy when thawed - like a deflated green balloon. Instead, store in the fridge up to 2 days with plastic pressed right on the surface to minimize browning. The lime juice helps too!

What protein swaps work for vegetarians?

Mashed chickpeas are my favorite plant-based swap - they mimic tuna's flaky texture surprisingly well! For more ideas, my Pinterest boards have tons of vegetarian protein salads using everything from roasted cauliflower to marinated tofu. The avocado-lime dressing works beautifully with all of them!
