Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

2 green onions, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into 3-inch sections. Use a melon baller or a spoon to scoop out the seeds in the center of each cucumber piece, creating a hollow space for the filling.

    Make the Tuna Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Add Green Onions: Gently fold in the chopped green onions into the tuna mixture to add some crunch and flavor.

        Stuff the Cucumbers: Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each hollowed cucumber piece with the tuna mixture. Be generous; aim to fill each section to the top.

          Garnish (Optional): If desired, place a half cherry tomato on top of each stuffed cucumber for an extra pop of color and flavor.

            Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate the stuffed cucumber bites for at least 15-20 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.

              Enjoy! Arrange the stuffed cucumber bites on a platter and serve as a refreshing appetizer or light snack.
