The Avocado Accident: Tuna & Hummus Bowl

One of the things I love most about cooking (especially when I’m short on time or energy) is how the best meals often come from happy accidents — those moments when I start tossing together odds and ends from the fridge and end up with something I can’t wait to eat again. This recipe is a perfect example.

I first came across the idea in The Glucose Goddess Method — a fantastic book full of blood-sugar-friendly food ideas. The author calls it “The Avocado Accident,” a name that immediately made me smile. It was born when she threw together a few fridge staples: avocado, hummus, tuna, lemon juice, olive oil, and seeds. Simple, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.

Of course, I made a few tweaks to make it a little more WW-friendly and a better fit for my way of eating. I cut back on the olive oil and used water-packed tuna to lighten things up while keeping the flavors fresh and satisfying.

This recipe is perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or anytime you want a quick, protein-rich, heart-healthy meal that doesn’t require turning on the stove.

Recipe Ingredients

Avocado, pitted and cut into cubes or slices– Creamy and rich in healthy fats, avocado brings a luxurious texture and satisfying flavor.

Fresh lemon juice – Helps brighten the dish and keeps the avocado from browning.

Hummus – Use your favorite brand or homemade. Adds a creamy, protein-rich base with fiber and flavor.

Canned tuna in water, drained – I use water-packed tuna for a lighter WW Zero Points option, instead of the oil-packed called for in the original recipe.

Seeds and/or nuts – Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds or walnuts — whatever you have on hand. They add crunch, flavor, and healthy fats.

Extra-virgin olive oil (optional) – A little goes a long way! I sometimes skip it or use just a drizzle to keep the Points in check

Salt and pepper, to taste

Substitutions, Variations & Notes

I love how flexible this meal is. It’s easy to build around what you already have, and it comes together in just minutes — no cooking required. It’s become one of my go-to “fridge clean-out” meals, and I hope it becomes one of yours too.

No avocado? Try sliced cucumber or a handful of baby spinach for freshness.

Out of hummus? Mashed white beans or Greek yogurt make a great substitute.

Tuna alternatives: Try canned salmon, leftover grilled chicken, or hard-boiled eggs.

Add-ins: Cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, olives, or crumbled feta can add color and extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Make it a wrap or bowl: Wrap in a low-carb tortilla or serve over greens or cooked quinoa for a heartier meal.
