The Health Benefits
Cucumbers- Our featured ingredient of the month, cucumbers are 95% water, making them a perfect way to stay hydrated and refreshed. They’re low in calories but high in fiber and antioxidants—ideal for gut health and heart support.
Tuna- A lean, heart-healthy protein loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, reduce inflammation, and promote cardiovascular wellness. Plus, it’s super satisfying without weighing you down.
Abstract Spice Lemon Salt & Pepper Blend- Adds a citrusy burst that complements tuna beautifully—zesty, clean flavor without artificial fillers or preservatives. Abstract Spice blends are all-natural, heart-healthy, and trusted by wellness experts and cardiologists alike!
Greek Yogurt or Avocado (Dairy-Free Option)- Greek yogurt gives creaminess with probiotics for gut health and extra protein. Prefer dairy-free? Mashed avocado is rich in healthy fats and potassium, helping to regulate blood pressure.
Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill, or Chives)- These greens don’t just garnish—they support digestion, immunity, and anti-inflammatory functions while boosting the fresh factor in your salad.
🍴Serving Tips & Pairings
Enjoy two boats with a side of fresh fruit for a light lunch.
Serve as an elegant party appetizer or healthy post-workout snack.
Pair with a tall glass of lemon-infused water or herbal iced tea.
Not a tuna salad fan? Chicken salad works beautifully as a sub!
🥄 AC's Culinary Coaching Tip:
Double or triple the tuna salad mix and store it in the fridge to refill your cucumber boats throughout the week! For extra crunch, toss in chopped celery or red onion.
