DILLED TUNA-CUCUMBER SALAD



Dilled Tuna-Cucumber Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sandwich     Fish     Herb     Vegetable     No-Cook     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Tuna     Dill     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 6 1/8-ounce can water-packed white tuna, drained
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
2 small green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Mix well. Season generously with pepper. Serve salad chilled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna for the best flavor. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, rather than brine.
  • Choose a mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of. There are many different brands and varieties of mayonnaise available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and chives, add a lot of flavor to tuna salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Add some crunchy vegetables, such as celery, onion, and cucumber, to give the tuna salad some texture. You can also add chopped hard-boiled eggs or avocado for extra protein and healthy fats.
  • Season the tuna salad to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the tuna salad on top of a bed of lettuce or arugula, or use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
