Breadless Cucumber Tuna Salad Sandwiches
- 2 long English cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup celery leaves
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 inner stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- Two 5-ounce cans chunk light tuna in water, drained
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 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).
