Prepare Ingredients

  1. 1

    Hard boil the egg. Once cooked, cool it under cold water, peel, and chop into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, olives, and capers.

  3. 3

    Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds from the center of each half, creating boat-like cavities.

Make the Filling

  1. 1

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped hard-boiled egg, finely chopped olives, capers, garlic, and onion.

  2. 2

    Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard to the bowl. Stir everything together gently until well combined.

  3. 3

    Grate in some lemon zest and squeeze in a little lemon juice. Season the mixture generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 1

    Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed-out cucumber halves, filling them generously.

  2. 2

    Arrange the cucumber tuna boats on a serving plate. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each boat just before serving. Or sriracha sauce.

  3. 3

    These are lovely served immediately, or you can chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for an extra refreshing dish.

  4. 4

    Enjoy this super delicious Cucumber Tuna Boats. They make a fantastic light lunch or appetizer!
