Gluten-Free Tuna Cucumber Sliders
Looking for a light and refreshing summer bite? These Tuna Cucumber Sliders are the perfect low-carb snack. They’re healthy, tasty, and quick to make.
Instead of bread, we use crisp cucumber slices to hold the tuna filling. This makes them gluten-free and carb-free. Ideal for anyone following a low-carb or keto lifestyle.
The creamy tuna mix is full of flavour. It’s made with simple ingredients you likely have on hand. A touch of mayo, a hint of lemon, and a few crunchy red oinions to take them to the next level.
These sliders are great as finger food. Serve them at garden parties, BBQs, baby showers, or casual get-togethers. They’re bite-sized, mess-free, and crowd-pleasing.
No cooking is required. Just mix, slice, and stack. They’re ready in minutes and can be made ahead of time.
Extra Tips:
For best results, use thick cucumber slices so they hold the tuna filling well.
Pat the cucumber slices dry with kitchen paper to prevent them from getting watery.
Add extras like celery, or sweetcorn to the tuna mix for extra crunch and flavour.
You can make the tuna mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
If prepping ahead for a party, store the cucumber slices and tuna separately and assemble just before serving.
For a spicy kick, add a small spoon of sriracha or a pinch of chilli flakes to the tuna mix.
These sliders are naturally gluten-free, low-carb, and dairy-free (just check the mayo brand if needed).
Optional toppings: fresh dill, sliced olives, or a sprinkle of black pepper.
Great as a lunchbox option too, just pack the cucumber and filling separately to keep things fresh.
Cucumber gives these sliders a crisp and cool bite. Paired with creamy tuna, they’re perfectly balanced. Each bite is fresh and satisfying.
If you’re looking for an easy appetiser with no bread involved, this is it. It’s also a fun way to get in more veggies during the day.
These Tuna Cucumber Sliders are not just for parties. They make a brilliant lunch, snack, or even a light dinner. You’ll love how easy they are to customise too.
