Ingredients
Tuna Mixture
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
- Fennel fronds, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
- Arrange Vegetables: Lay out the thinly sliced cucumber rounds and fennel slices evenly on a serving platter, creating an attractive base for the bites.
- Assemble Bites: Using a spoon, place a dollop of the creamy tuna mixture on each cucumber slice, then top with a slice of fennel. Garnish each bite with small fennel fronds for an elegant finish.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, chill the assembled bites in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the tuna mixture to set slightly.
Notes
- Add capers or fresh dill to the tuna mixture for a Mediterranean flavor twist.
- Chill the bites for at least 15 minutes before serving to enhance the taste and texture.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter, tangier option.
- Serve immediately after assembly if not chilling to maintain cucumber crunch.
