These crisp cucumber rounds are the perfect light bite when you want something fresh, cool, and satisfying without any fuss. Flaked tuna gets mixed with crunchy celery, sweet red bell pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a spoonful of Dijon mustard for a bright, tangy filling that comes together in minutes. Fresh parsley adds a herby lift, while a pinch of red pepper flakes brings just the right amount of warmth if you want it. The cucumber rounds themselves are hollowed out into little edible cups, so every bite is crunchy, juicy, and packed with protein-rich filling. It's a great option for anyone building meals around lean fish, fresh vegetables, and simple olive-oil-friendly staples, making it a smart pick for a Mediterranean-style spread. Serve them as a light lunch or a crowd-pleasing appetizer — either way, they disappear fast.

Drain the tuna thoroughly, pressing it against the side of the strainer to remove as much liquid as possible, then transfer to a medium mixing bowl and flake apart with a fork.
Add the avocado oil mayonnaise, celery, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed with the fork.
