Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz canned tuna, drained
- 1 large cucumber
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Frank’s hot sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the tuna mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna with mayonnaise, Frank’s hot sauce, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Slice the cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber, then cut it into evenly sized slices about ¼ inch thick to serve as a crisp base for the tuna topping.
- Assemble the bites: Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture onto each cucumber slice, distributing evenly. Arrange the topped slices neatly on a serving platter.
- Add garnishes: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of each tuna cucumber bite for added flavor and visual appeal, if desired.
- Serve immediately: These bites are best enjoyed fresh to retain the crispness of cucumber and freshness of the tuna salad.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of Frank’s hot sauce.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter alternative.
- Make sure to drain the tuna well to avoid soggy cucumber bites.
- Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
