Description
Tuna cucumber boats are a light and refreshing low-carb snack or meal featuring crisp cucumber halves filled with a flavorful tuna salad mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 (5 oz) can tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon to create a boat-like shape.
- In a bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red onion, dill (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Fill each cucumber boat with the tuna mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure it stays in place.

Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle with chopped celery or bell peppers.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier option.
- Great as an appetizer or a light lunch.
