Over Stuff'd Avacado

Breakfast and Lunch are the hardest meals of the day for me.  I am constantly on the hunt for something good to eat.  This recipe was  good and easy.  Perfect to add to my menu.  The original recipe was found  Here.
Over-stuff’d Avocado
Ingredients:
1 medium Avocado
can tuna, drained ( I used canned chicken from Costco )
1/4 cup each:
        green pepper, red onion, cucumber - all diced  ( I used just a little of peppers.  They are good but I don't like a lot )
1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt, plain
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 packet sweetener( stevia)
1/4 cup fresh orange sections, diced
How to Prepare
1. Slice Avocado in half, lengthwise. Split open and remove the pit.
2. Scoop out the center of the avocado, leaving about ¼ inch of the fruit all around, and put the scooped out fruit into a bowl. Set the halves aside.
 3. Add tuna ( chicken ), pepper, onion, cucumber yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt and sweetener to the bowl with the scooped out avocado. ( I mixed my sauce in a bowl, then I mixed the rest in a separate bowl.  That way I can control how much sauce is used.  I had some left over when I was finished.  )
 Mix all ingredients until very well blended.
 4. Add orange sections and mix gently.
 5. Scoop half of the mix into each of the Avocado halves.  ( I put mine inside romaine lettuce leaves for a sandwich. )
6. Put in refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes to slightly chill.
 7. Grab a spoon and eat up!
