To Make No Cook Baby Food: Tuna, Melon and Avocado Salad, You Will Need…

1 tbsp canned tuna (please see this post for more information)
1 small slice of melon, peeled (we prefer to use watermelon in salads!)
1/2 small avocado, peeled and stoned
1 to 2 tbsp natural yogurt

For younger babies (6 months+) not yet enjoying texture:

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Add enough natural yogurt to give you the texture you desire.

For older babies enjoying a little texture:

Puree the melon.

Mash the avocado with the natural yogurt and stir in the pureed melon and tuna.

As a finger food or for baby led weaning for older babies:

Cut the avocado and melon into cubes. Place in baby’s dish.

Add the tuna and stir in enough natural yogurt to just coat all the pieces.

NOTE: Whichever method of preparation you use, this dish is best served immediately and is not suitable for freezing.
