Cucumber Slices with Tuna Salad is a fresh, nutrient-packed dish that combines crisp cucumber rounds with a flavorful tuna salad topping. The tuna mixture typically includes canned tuna, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, diced celery, onion, and a hint of lemon juice for zest. Originating as a light Western appetizer or snack, this dish offers a low-carb alternative to traditional sandwiches or crackers. Cucumbers provide hydration and vitamins, while tuna is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart and brain health. Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise can lower fat content and add probiotics. However, the sodium content in canned tuna may be something to consider for those monitoring salt intake. Perfect for a quick, healthy snack or party platter, Cucumber Slices with Tuna Salad strikes a balance between flavor and nutrition.
