Tuna cucumber boats are a fresh and healthy twist on classic tuna salad. Crisp cucumber halves are hollowed out and filled with a creamy, flavorful tuna mixture for a low-carb, high-protein snack that’s perfect for lunchboxes, meal prep, or a quick no-cook meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tuna Salad:

  • 1 (5 oz) can tuna, drained

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Cucumber Boats:

  • 2 medium cucumbers

  • Optional toppings: chopped parsley, paprika, everything bagel seasoning, sliced olives

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together tuna, mayo (or yogurt), Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds, creating a “boat.”

  3. Pat the inside of the cucumber boats dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  4. Fill each cucumber half with the tuna mixture, smoothing it out with a spoon.

  5. Top with your favorite garnishes and serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

  • Swap tuna for canned salmon or chicken if desired.

  • For extra crunch, mix in chopped pickles or water chestnuts.

  • Make it spicy with a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
