Notes
- Best when
- Useful for a savoury afternoon or early evening snack when bread would make the portion feel heavier.
- Substitutions
- Swap Greek yoghurt for thick skyr, or use celery sticks instead of cucumber if you want more crunch.
- Storage and safety
- Use drained canned tuna promptly after opening and keep the mixed filling chilled until serving.
- Why it fits
- Tuna supplies most of the protein, cucumber adds bulk with few calories, and the yoghurt binder keeps the serving within the calorie cap.
