Cucumber Boats with a Fresh Twist

Looking for a fun and refreshing way to enjoy your veggies? 🥒✨

These Cucumber Boats are the perfect healthy twist on classic salad! Crisp cucumber shells are filled with a creamy mix of tuna, sweet corn, grated carrots, and juicy tomatoes — all tied together with a touch of mayo (or cream cheese if you prefer it lighter). 
Ideal for summer days, light lunches, or as a colorful starter that’s sure to impress!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber
  • Tuna (canned, drained)
  • Corn (canned or cooked)
  • Grated carrot
  • Tomato, diced (or cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • Mayonnaise (or cream cheese for a lighter option)
Preparation method:

Start by peeling the cucumber, then slice it lengthwise into two halves. Cut each half again lengthwise to create four boat-shaped pieces. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the seeds to form a cavity in each piece. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, sweet corn, grated carrot, and diced tomatoes. Add the mayonnaise (or cream cheese for a healthier version), and mix until well combined and creamy.

Carefully fill each cucumber boat with the prepared mixture, pressing gently with a spoon to pack the filling neatly.

Chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving. A salad that's as refreshing as it is beautiful — perfect for summer starters! 🥒🌞
