Low Carb Avocado Tuna Melts are the perfect healthy eating solution. Made with creamy avocado, and then piled over a juicy thick cut tomato and topped with cheese.
Now that we are in the thick of healthy eating (hello New Year), I wanted to come up with a low carb option for my favorite sandwich, an avocado tuna melt. These low avocado carb tuna melts are the perfect healthy meal. Whip them up in only 5 minutes and then devour them for lunch. Use avocado instead of mayonnaise for the perfect creamy texture and added protein. Pile the avocado tuna on top of a thick cut tomato and then top it with your favorite cheese for the perfect Low Carb Avocado Tuna Melt.
I like to mix some onion with my tuna because it adds a bit of crunch. Since I can't stand mayonnaise, I love using avocado to make the tuna creamy and so delicious. I usually add a tiny bit of Greek yogurt as well, which just adds to the creamy texture. When you make these low carb avocado tuna melts, you can eat a whole sliced tomato topped with a whole package (3 ounces) of tuna. I like to use the no salt added packages of white albacore tuna, but you can use whatever brand you like best.
Why these Low Carb Avocado Tuna Melts are healthy:
- We replace the high cholesterol and high sodium condiment mayonnaise with heart healthy Avocado and protein packed Greek yogurt. Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium.
- There are 30 grams of protein in these Low Carb Tuna Melts, making these a great option for lunch or dinner.
- With only 12 grams of carbs, this recipe makes it easy to stick to a reduced low carb diet.
- White Albacore Tuna is full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and is actually low in sodium if you opt for lower sodium/no salt added brands.

How pretty (and delicious) do these look! I love that there is no mayo involved - a nice upgrade!
Becca says
Will the avocado turn brown if you make these ahead, say for lunch meal prep?
Allyson says
I haven't tried it. If you do, i would suggest covering the salad with plastic wrap and pressing it hard up against the salad so that there is no air between the wrap and the salad. You could also add a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. Let me know if you try it!
