Ingredients

2 tins, drained (160g) Tinned Tuna — About 35g of protein across two servings, for very little else.
2, halved and hollowed (300g) Cucumber — Scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon. Left in, they leak water and the filling slides straight out.
3 tbsp (50g) Greek Yogurt — Instead of mayonnaise — it binds the same way and adds protein rather than fat.
diced fine (30g) Red Onion — Sharpness against a very mild filling.
a squeeze Lemon — Tinned tuna needs acid more than it needs salt.
a small handful (5g) Dill — Through the mix.
