👉  Ingredient substitution suggestions

• Cucumber: Celery, bell peppers, or sweet mini peppers can be used in place of cucumbers.
• Cream Cheese: Vegan cream cheese can be used at a 1:1 ratio for traditional cream cheese. You could also use Greek yogurt.
• Tuna: If you don’t like tuna, canned salmon or canned chicken may be substituted.
• Salt-Free Everything Bagel Seasoning: Original Everything Bagel Seasoning with salt can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio, but the saltiness of the overall dish will obviously be increased. You can also choose to make the seasoning at home by following this homemade bagel seasoning recipe (if you do this, I would suggest omitting the added salt).
• Coconut Aminos: Tamari is an excellent substitute for coconut aminos. Liquid aminos or soy sauce are also great alternatives.
• Hot Sauce: You can use Sriracha in place of hot sauce, but note that this substitution will increase the carb content of the recipe slightly. A sprinkle of ground cayenne pepper could also be used.

Keep in mind any changes you make to this recipe will modify the total net carbs.
