Cashew Free Avocado-Cucumber Tuna Bites
These little bites are fresh, vibrant, and genuinely satisfying — cool cucumber rounds topped with a creamy, herb-packed tuna and avocado mixture that comes together in minutes. The avocado does double duty here, acting as both a binder and a rich, buttery base so there's no need for mayo or any nut-based creams that could sneak in unwanted allergens. Coconut aminos add a subtle savory depth, while lemon juice, chives, cilantro, ginger, and turmeric layer in brightness and warmth that make every bite feel intentional. The whole thing is naturally free from tree nuts — no swaps, no workarounds, just clean ingredients that happen to work beautifully together. They're ideal for a light lunch, a party appetizer, or an afternoon snack when you want something that feels a little elevated without any real effort. Serve them immediately so the cucumber stays crisp and the topping stays lush and green.
