  1. Begin by preparing the cucumber. Wash it thoroughly and slice it into rounds, each about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, carefully scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh from the center of each cucumber slice to create a small well. Be careful not to scoop all the way through the cucumber, leaving a sturdy base.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, finely chopped red onion, finely chopped celery, and Dijon mustard. Mix well to combine.

  4. Season the tuna salad with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

  5. Spoon a small amount of the tuna salad into each hollowed-out cucumber slice, filling them just to the top.

  6. Garnish each Tuna Cucumber Cup with a sprig of fresh dill or parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.

  7. Arrange the filled cucumber cups on a serving platter and serve immediately.

  8. Enjoy these refreshing and tasty Tuna Cucumber Cups as a light snack, appetizer, or part of a healthy meal!
