It’s not easy to keep things fresh in the summer. But these cups offer a light protein-packed appetizer that’s so good and so fresh you should probably make a few extra for yourself.

Ingredients

1 can (170g) CLOVER LEAF® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained
2 tbsp Almond butter
½ tbsp Soy sauce (less sodium)
1 tsp Lime juice
½ tsp Ginger, fresh, shredded
¼ tsp Lime zest
1/8 tsp Sesame oil
¼ cup Carrots, shredded
2 tbsp Green onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp Red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Mint, chopped
2-3 English cucumbers

PREP INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together almond butter, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, lime zest and sesame oil until combined and smooth.
  2. Into almond butter mix, gently stir in tuna, carrots, green onion, bell pepper, cilantro, mint and sea salt.
  3. Cut English cucumbers into 1-inch slices.
  4. Using a small melon-baller or a spoon, scoop out seeds while leaving the bottom of the cucumber intact to form a little bowl.
  5. Fill each cucumber cup with tuna mixture with option to garnish with more mint or cilantro.
