Tuna Cucumber Cups Whole30 Keto Recipes

TUNA IN CUCUMBER CUPS

Steps:

• Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop the seeds out of the cucumber slices, leaving about 1/4" on the bottom to make them into little cups. Once they have all been scooped, squeeze the water from the cucumber pulp you have scooped out, and finely chop it.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, finely chopped cucumber pulp, mayo and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste to see if you want to add more mayo or pepper.
• If your cucumber cups have a lot of moisture, dab away the water using a paper towel. Then fill each cucumber cup with tuna, and garnish with dill.

KETO TUNA SALAD CUPS

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
• Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.
