Smoked Tuna With Yogurt Cucumber Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to make a boat shape; discard seeds and flesh. Poke the inside of the hollowed out cucumbers several times with a fork. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, until blended. Brush the inside of each cucumber with some of the vinaigrette.
• Whisk the yogurt, dill, celery leaves, mayonnaise, scallions, celery, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the bowl with the remaining vinaigrette. Add the drained tuna and stir to combine.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Fill two of the cucumbers with the tuna salad and top each with 1/4 cup of sprouts. Sandwich with the remaining cucumbers. Cut each sandwich in half and wrap in wax paper (this will help catch all the juices).

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, salt and 2 to 3 tablespoons hot water. Stir to dissolve sugar. Place cucumber slices in bowl with marinade and toss. Let sit, refrigerated for 1 hour. Plate tatsoi greens, tossed with Ginger Lime Dressing. Put cucumber on greens and garnish with avocado and lime wedges.
• In a small bowl, mix together the wasabi and water to form a paste then transfer to a blender and all lime, juice, sugar, Dijon and ginger. Start the blender and slowly add olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Mix ingredients, add any other optional spices.
• Serve with crackers like triscuits or with celery or other veggies.
