Instructions
- Combine tuna with celery, carrot, pickle, onion, mayo, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. If you have a go-to tuna salad recipe as well, feel free to use it here! Adjust to taste and feel free to add extra of your favorites mix-ins.
- Slice off the ends of your English cucumbers (also sometimes called hothouse cucumbers) and slice the cucumber in half vertically, then in half horizontally. Run a mellon baller or spoon along the center to scoop out the seeds and make some space for your tuna salad.
- Pile on the tuna salad and dig in!
- Feel free to garnish with a little dill if desired. It makes a great topping!
Notes
- Both albacore and chunk light tuna work great here! Use your favorite. Be sure to grab the kind packed in water and drain well.
- A mellon baller totally comes in handy here so, if you haven't invested in one yet, totally pick one up!
