STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

  1. Drain and weigh the tuna. Pat it dry, then flake with a fork.
  2. Beat cream cheese with yogurt, lemon juice and pepper, then fold in tuna and half the parsley.
  3. Cut the cucumber into 12 thick rounds and pat their tops dry.
  4. Spoon the mixture over the cucumber, add remaining parsley and divide into 4 servings, three bites per person. Refrigerate until served.

Kitchen notes

  • Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below until serving. Refrigerate perishables within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Serve chilled; do not leave a buffet platter out for longer.
