Our first garden this year produced some 'round-shaped' cucumbers with course seeds, but with great flavor, texture, and juicy. I didn't want to waste anything I pulled from our first attempt at a garden, including these cucumbers. So when I cut them in half and cleaned out the seeds, I envisioned a stuffed cup of some kind. Hence! My creation began! I hope you enjoy this quick, simple, and refreshing recipe as much as we have, friends! "To Your Best Health"! Janie

How To Make tuna stuffed cucumber buttons

  • 1
    Drain tuna! Peel cucumbers, scoop out seeds, level bottom so it sets flat; mince part you cut off and add to ingredients.
  • 2
    Mince green onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, basil (I used dried fresh basil, but fresh is always the greatest, however). Gently toss all ingredients with tuna.
  • 3
    Mix mayo, lime juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper; then mix with other ingredients. Stuff cucumber cups, serve with fruit of your choice; delicious with grapes on the side.
