High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Rosemary-Apple Tuna Cucumber Cups
These little cucumber cups are a genuinely clever way to serve tuna salad — fresh, crunchy, and packed with flavor in every single bite. The combination of finely diced apple and fresh rosemary gives the filling a bright, herby sweetness that feels anything but ordinary. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce here, bringing that savory depth without any of the hidden sweeteners that make so many condiments off-limits. A quick whisk of olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, and turmeric ties everything together into a dressing that's clean, vibrant, and completely free of processed additives. Every ingredient in this recipe is whole and straightforward, so you can put these together without squinting at a single label. They work beautifully as a light lunch, a party appetizer, or an easy snack that actually keeps you satisfied.

Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends from both cucumbers and cut 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 bottom intact so the cup holds its filling.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, lemon juice, ground ginger, turmeric, and sea salt until combined.
