Low-Carb Protein Power Bowl

Recipe makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

For the Baked Avocado:
1 large avocado, halved and pitted
2 small eggs
½ teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or parsley)
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tuna Salad:
1 can (5oz/140g) tuna, drained
2 cups lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced
½ medium yellow bell pepper, diced
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
½ medium cucumber, sliced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Scoop out a little more avocado from the center of each half to make room for the eggs. Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, making sure they are stable (you can place them on a bed of foil to keep them steady).

Carefully crack the eggs into each avocado half, one egg per half. Season with salt, pepper, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

Divide the tuna salad onto two plates. Place one baked avocado half on top of each salad.

Sprinkle additional red pepper flakes or herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
