Cucumber Tuna Salad Snack
PREP TIME:15 mins TOTAL TIME:15 mins
Serves: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 1 5 oz can chunk light tuna in water, drained well
- 2 tsp minced red onion, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes, then drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp minced celery
- 1 Tbsp minced dill
- ¼ Cup mayo
- ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 2 cucumbers with slices down the sides
- 3 grape tomatoes sliced into quarters
- Dill sprigs for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the tuna, red onion, celery, dill, mayo, lemon juice, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix together with a fork while breaking up the tuna until evenly combined.
Peel 4 slices of evenly-spaced skin off of the cucumbers, creating a striped pattern. Cut the cucumber in ⅓-1/2 inch slices and then, using a melon baller, scoop out the center, leaving the bottom of the slice intact to create a cup. Plan on making about 12 cucumber cups.
Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon of tuna salad into each cucumber slice. Garnish with ¼ of a sliced grape tomato and a sprig of dill. Serve immediately.
