Ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 can tuna (5 oz, drained)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably avocado oil mayo)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or parsley)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup diced celery (for added crunch, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter.
  2. Make the Tuna Salad: In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If using diced celery, fold it into the mixture for extra crunch.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Spoon a small dollop of the tuna salad onto each cucumber slice, using about a tablespoon per slice. Garnish with extra fresh dill or a sprinkle of black pepper for a finishing touch.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately as a fresh, keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
