Seed Oil Free Avocado-Cucumber Tuna Bites
Crisp cucumber rounds topped with a creamy, herb-flecked tuna and avocado mixture — these little bites are the kind of snack that disappears fast at any gathering. The avocado does double duty here, acting as both a binder and a rich, buttery base so there's no mayo, no canola oil, and no soybean oil hiding in the mix. Coconut aminos bring a subtle savory depth in place of soy sauce, and the combination of fresh chives, cilantro, lemon juice, ginger, and turmeric makes every bite taste bright and intentional. It's the kind of recipe that proves clean eating doesn't have to mean boring eating. Everything comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, so it's as low-effort as it is impressive. Serve them straight away for the best texture — the cucumber stays snappy and the topping stays lush.
