- Add Tuna: Add the drained tuna to the bowl and gently mix it with the avocado dressing to evenly coat the tuna without breaking it up too much.

- Chill: Refrigerate the salad for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together and serve chilled for best taste.

Notes
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or increase the amount of avocado.
- Enhance the salad by adding chopped boiled egg or diced pickles for additional texture and flavor.
