Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Cherry tomatoes, halved, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a small spoon or melon baller, creating a boat for the filling.

    Make the Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Add Veggies: Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, and dill to the tuna mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix again until everything is evenly combined.

        Stuff the Cucumbers: Generously spoon the creamy tuna salad mixture into each cucumber half. Make sure to fill them well to enjoy every bite!

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish each stuffed cucumber with halved cherry tomatoes for an added pop of color and flavor. Place them on a serving platter.

            Chill (Optional): For a refreshing touch, you can chill the stuffed cucumbers in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving.

              Enjoy your Creamy Tuna Salad Stuffed Cucumbers as a light lunch, appetizer, or a delicious snack!
