cucumber tuna appetizer

A nice light, healthy snack. Lovely to serve as a snack at Christmas, New Year's Eve, or a summer buffet. This cucumber tuna appetizer can be made at any time.

At Christmas times, most of the time you eat too much and too fat. Do you recognize this feeling? Now, this Christmas I have opted for this appetizer that isn't fat and is delicious and healthy. Bye, bye extra pounds.

• When you make the cucumber appetizers for Christmas it's fun to decorate them with a zester (a kitchen tool that you use for making orange/lemon rind). By using this you can make beautiful cucumber stripes.
• If you want to create a small bowl in the cucumber, but not through and through, you can use a melon ball cutter (what a word) or a teaspoon for great results.
• When you're looking for a substitute for tuna you can use canned salmon instead.
• Do you want to prepare this snack in advance? You can prepare it in the morning by following these steps: shape the cucumber (cut, decorate, and making the hole). Wrap each piece into a damp paper towel and store it in an airtight bag. Keep in the refrigerator until use. At this time you can also prepare the tuna salad (also store in an airtight box in the refrigerator).
• The recipe is gluten- and lactose-free, but always check the package of the ingredients carefully to make sure that there are no traces of allergens!
