These cute little Tuna cucumber cups are super easy to make and are perfect as a healthy snack. You can use Mayo but, Low-Fat Cottage Cheese is a bit healthier and has more Protein. Tip: If you find that your Cucumber are too watery, here a trick to help; Once you scoop out the flesh, turn the cups upside down and place them on a sheet of kitchen towel for 20mins or so. This will allow for the excess water to drain out of the cucumber.
