My whole family loved this recipe. Definitely going to add it to our list of favorites. After draining the can, I had 5 oz dry weight of tuna, so I scaled the recipe to make 10 servings. I had a hard time with the paring knife to make the cucumber cups. Using the pointy end of a vegetable peeler made the job easy for me. To get the precise macros for my meal, I changed the serving size in the recipe to “gram” and entered the weight of the pieces I intended to eat.

It tells you that the recipe makes 4 servings, 1 quarter is considered 1 serving. 1.1 net carbs per serving. Hope this settles any confusions.

I ended up cutting the cucumber circles in half and using them more like a chip. I found it was easier to eat this way.

Is a serving size one cucumber or all 4 as shown in photo? New to this, sorry!

A serving is one cup. You have to look at the serving size under the section About This Recipe

I love these! Not a fan of raw capsicum so omitted that but even without they were very tasty!

Does one serving mean you only use half the can of tuna?

Nice summer lunch with a tossed green salad.

You can scoop the middle of the cucumber out with a spoon. Knife not required.

Im confused on the serving size. Is it 1/4 cucumber filled? I changed serving size to 8, and it still only calls for 1 can of tuna and 1 single cucumber.. help!

For 1/2 can tuna you use 1 European cucumber, cut into 4 sections. For whole can tuna, use 2 European cucumber
