Tuna Cucumber Boats

Tuna (canned) does the heavy lifting here, with cucumber rounding it out. A snack that takes 8 minutes, start to finish. Each serving lands at 186 calories with 33g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Naturally paleo and keto, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 can Tuna (canned)
• 1 Cucumber
• 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp Dijon

Steps

1. Drain 1 can of tuna very well, pressing it against the strainer with a fork — excess liquid makes the filling watery.
2. In a small bowl, mix the tuna with 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon of Dijon until it holds together.
3. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if you like it brighter.
4. Cut 1 cucumber in half lengthwise. Run a spoon down the center of each half to scoop out the seeds, making a shallow boat.
5. Pat the cucumber boats dry inside so the filling does not slide around.
6. Fill each boat generously with the tuna salad and serve right away.
