It's picnic season y'all and we won't settle for the boring pasta salad this year, I'm telling you ! So here's a delicious cucumber and tuna salad, so refreshing and no mayonnaise is involved.

Red onion for a little kick, some mustard in the dressing to spice things up and a good amount of parsley for some freshness, the perfect summer salad ! Serve with with crispy bread or some raw veggies.

If you have a can of tuna laying around waiting to be used (or several), this is the ideal recipe. Throw it in a jar or a container and take it with you wherever you go, share with your friends. Or don't.

If you want a different idea to use your canned tuna, you can try making mini quiches too :

Mini tuna and potatoes quiches

Individual portion of quiches for starter or as a light dinner. You can make a big batch and keep it refrigerated in an air tight container so it won’t dry out. These ones are made with tuna, potatoes and thyme. A very yummy combo.
