Directions
I’ve previously made a creamy chicken salad but this time tuna was the protein of choice. Inspired by the Whole30 tuna boats, this recipe calls for a batch of homemade mayonnaise, which is simple and quick to make.
Tip: make sure your avocado is ripe for a creamy dressing.

Fancy appetizers: cucumber bowlsTo Make Fancy appetizers: cucumber bowls Wash and chop 3 cucumbers into 2" sections (makes 5-6). Use a small spoon or mellon baller to hollow out the inside. Try to avoid piercing the edges and preserve the bottom layer to make a bowl. Lightly salt the cucumber bowls and place upside down on a paper towel to drain for 10-15 minutes. Spoon the creamy salad into the cups and top with finely chopped parsley or cayenne pepper to decorate. |
