Do I need to use a specific type of canned tuna for this recipe?

No. This dish can be prepared with either chunk light or white albacore, so pick whichever you prefer. Both water-packed tuna and oil-packed tuna will work.

Can these cucumber boats be cut into bite-sized pieces for appetizers?

Of course, these make a great appetizer! I recommend preparing the spicy tuna cucumber boats according to the recipe and then cutting them into bite-size pieces and serving on a tray.

Can I meal prep and store Spicy Tuna Cucumber Boats to eat later?

Yes, but I would be sure to eat them within 1 day. After that timeframe, the cucumbers may become more watery.

Instructions

Slice cucumber in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, de-seed cucumber and then blot both sides dry with a paper towel.
Spread on softened cream cheese then fill up each side with spoonfuls of tuna. Sprinkle on Salt-Free Everything Bagel Seasoning then drizzle on coconut aminos and hot sauce.

Recipe Notes:

Peeling And De-Seeding Cucumber: You can leave the skin on or peel the cucumber. Using a spoon to remove the seeds will allow the cucumber halves to turn into a “boat” and to allow room to stuff the cucumbers with the remaining ingredients. Without de-seeding, the toppings will not have an easy place to sit on the cucumber halves. You do not need to de-seed them, but, if you don’t, just be aware that the resulting snack will be messier to eat and different than the original recipe intended.

Net Carbs: Per serving, these cucumber boats contain 2.5 grams of net carbs. The recipe, as written, yields 2 servings and 1 serving is equivalent to 1 prepared cucumber boat. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

Refrigerator Storage: Store prepared cucumber boats in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat them within 1 day.
