Cucumbers are one of the lightest vegetables available, with just 16 calories per 100 grams. As a nutrition expert, I love incorporating them into meals for their crunch and versatility—pair them with flavorful fillings to keep things exciting and healthy.
Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the central flesh (snack on it while prepping). In a bowl, mix 1 plain 0% fat yogurt, 1 teaspoon mustard, and diced red pepper.
Drain and add the tuna from 1 can of natural tuna, then stir until well combined. Fill the cucumber halves with the mixture and top with chopped chives and a pinch of curry powder.
Prepare the cucumber the same way as above.
For the filling, crumble two goat cheeses, season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stuff the cucumber halves, garnish with chopped fresh chives, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
Prepare the cucumber as before. Drain a can of mixed salad, combine it with mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper.
Fill the cucumber halves, top with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with olive oil for a fresh, vibrant finish.
