Tuna is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. If you're a tuna lover like me, you will love this appetizer!! Serve this as a fancy dip with baked chips, seeded flat bread, or on cucumber slices to keep it low carb. Also makes a fabulous lunch over a bed of baby greens. Buy your tuna at a
reputable fish market and impress your friends!

Tartare, I think, instead of Tar Tar. :) It looks divine right on the cucumbers. I'd order it at a restaurant! We love avocado, tuna, and all things spicy.
ReplyDeleteIs the serving size one cucumber slice? 4 points?
ReplyDeleteThanks Beaudoins : )
ReplyDeleteOne serving size 1/4 of the recipe which is quite a few slices of cucumbers or whatever you serve it on.
This looks awesome! It's so coincidental that you posted this today--I had a similar dish last night as an appetizer at a restaurant, served with thin baked chips, and it was excellent. Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDelete@Amanda - I always order this when I go out to eat!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a healthy appetizer that people will love. I took a cooking class recently where the chef told us what to look for when choosing sushi grade tuna. Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I love finding recipes that I can enjoy but without feeling guilty at the end of the night. I think this sounds like a great Low Fat Recipe. Not to mention that it looks great in presentation. I work with Better Recipes so I am always trying to find recipes that not only taste great but look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! You always make such elegant looking finger foods!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I fixed a half recipe (totally awesome recipe, BTW) and did a Bento Box meal for myself and a gal at work. Pretty little heart shaped carrots, tulip shaped jicama, scallop-circle celery, butterfly cantaloupe, a radish rose and a strawberry cut and fanned out. Very pretty and a lot of fun to eat.

ReplyDeleteMade this for folks coming to watch Bears-Packers game over weekend. Not "typical" football food but it was the first dish to go. Great flavor and a terrific points plus "value."
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites!!! This is MY kind of appetizer!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE tuna and really want to try this, but do not like cucumbers. Any ideas on something else to put it on, but still keep it healthy? Thanks!
