Preparation

  1. Make the filling

    4 min

    In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, fromage blanc, tuna, finely chopped shallot, salt, and black pepper until smooth and evenly mixed.

    Drain the tuna well before mixing.

  2. Prepare the cucumber

    3 min

    Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the center and create a hollow cavity.

    Leave enough cucumber flesh to keep the halves sturdy.

  3. Fill the cucumber

    2 min

    Generously spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed cucumber halves.

    Press the filling gently so it stays in place.

  4. Finish

    1 min

    Sprinkle fresh dill over the top for extra freshness and flavor.

    Fresh dill pairs perfectly with tuna and cucumber.

  5. Serve

    1 min

    Serve chilled as a light meal, appetizer, or healthy snack.

    Best enjoyed fresh and cold.
