Tuna Salad Stuffed Cucumbers
I'm a mermaid. But I'm not a seafood lover by any means. After all that would be cannibalism right? Smiles.
Every now and then I will have a craving for tuna or some of the battered fish from Captain D's... my seafood venture ends there though.
Today was one of those "I think I want tuna" days.
I prepared the tuna and place it in the fridge so it would be cooled by lunch time.
My taste buds desired a little something different. I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich or the whole cracker thing.
Cucumbers..That's it! I peeled and sliced a cumber and then removed the centers of each slice with a spoon.
Tossed a bit of salt and pepper on the inside (my personal preference).
I then scooped a dollop of tuna on top. If you want to get fancy you can put the tuna in a sandwich bag, hold the bag at an angle and snip off tip. You want the hole you snip to be on the larger end of things, so that all the tuna ingredients can flow through smoothly.
