Ingredients
- 1 or 2 large cucumbers, sliced into 1/4inch rounds
- 1/4 cup organic cream cheese, cold from the fridge
- 6 oz can tuna or salmon, drained well
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Spicy mayo:
- 3 Tbsps homemade mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsps hot sauce of choice
Instructions
- Lay your cucumber slices on a serving platter or board.
- Spread each cucumber with about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese, a small spoonful of tuna, jalapeño slices as desired, and a tiny sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- In a small bowl whisk together your mayonnaise and your favorite hot sauce really well.
- Lightly drizzle this homemade spicy mayo over your tuna cucumber bites. I snipped off a teeny tiny corner of a bag then filled it with my spicy mayonnaise to get this nice even drizzle.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
