Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 ounces wild-caught tuna can
  • 1/4 cup red onion or yellow, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons clean mayo, more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1/2 a lemon)
  • 2 cucumbers, partially peeled lengthwise to create stripes, cut into 12 horizontal slices each

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tuna Salad: In a bowl, mix together the wild-caught tuna, mayonnaise, chopped onions, kosher or sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until ingredients are well combined into a creamy tuna salad.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Lay out half of the cucumber slices on a serving surface. Spoon a dollop of the prepared tuna salad onto each cucumber slice.
  3. Complete Sandwich: Top each tuna-topped cucumber slice with another cucumber slice to create a sandwich. Optionally, use toothpicks to skewer each sandwich for easier handling and serving.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, light, and gluten-free alternative to traditional tuna sandwiches.

Notes

  • This sandwich is naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your taste preference for creaminess.
  • For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the tuna salad.
  • Keep cucumber sandwich refrigerated and consume soon after preparation for best freshness.
