I loved the look of this recipe, but only had the small Persian cucumbers in the house – and my son had finished up the last avocado. I made the recipe (doubled), anyway, and chopped up the Persian cucumbers in lieu of spiralizing English cucumbers and, obviously, skipped the avocado.
It was absolutely TERRIFIC! My husband — who absolutely does not like quinoa and will not eat it under any circumstances, harrumph! — loved it and wants to have it again : ) I used the red quinoa and look forward to trying it soon with English cucumber noodles.
Best,
Alison
P.S. Wonderful news about the HSN. Good luck!

Since I prefer to eat warmer meals in the cold months I’m bookmarking this for spring, but I’m sure it will be a hit, I love pairing tuna with cucumbers.

I’m not sure how you manage, (rolling my eyes) but I really enjoy your recipes and the very human approach you have to everything you do. I’m making this recipe right now for tomorrow.??

You can add in feta, if you’d like. I’m keeping it cleaner by omitting cheese.

You all give the calories for one serving of however many your recipe makes, but never what size that serving is. For example, 1/2 cup of avocado/tuna mixture with salad dressing for each 2 cups of cucumber noodles, or whatever. Why is that?

What’s up with that?

I also love seeing canned goods/pantry items used like tuna, beans and quinoa. I always seem to pick them up when they’re on sale!

I might need to double up on the cucumber noodles though since I love a big salad 🙂
Maybe next week when I’m done kale/beans/sweet potato noodle bake!
