Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends from both cucumbers and slice each into rounds about 3/4-inch thick — you should get 18–20 rounds total. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving the base intact so the filling stays in place.

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, coconut aminos, fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir until the tuna is evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
