Cucumber Salad Bowls

Ingredients:


3 large cucumbers
1 (6 oz) can tuna in water, drained well
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1 tbsp sweet onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp relish
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded


Instructions:


Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise.
Remove the seeds and cut the bottom so the cucumbers sit flat.
Place the tuna, eggs, celery and onion in a large mixing bowl.
Mix a little to help break up the tuna.
Add mayonnaise and relish.
Mix together until the mayonnaise is a little more smooth.
Pour the lemon juice.
Sprinkle with pepper.
Stir to mix well.
Sprinkle with cheese and stir until all the ingredients are mixed-up together.
Fill each cucumber half with the tuna mixture.

Cucumber boats can be filled with all kinds of salad. Egg salad, chicken salad or ham salad, to make a great addition to any picnic.

  4. I like surprising my parents with a salad every time they visit. The cucumber recipe is a great suggestion. I know my parents would love this since they are also very fond of cucumber.
