    Cut the cucumbers into 3–4 cm thick rounds.
    KnifeCutting board
  2. 2
    With a small teaspoon, scoop out the center of each round, without piercing the bottom.
    Spoon / teaspoon (regular)
  3. 3
    Drain the tuna well and flake it in a bowl with a fork.
    ColanderBowl
    💡Drain the tuna well: liquid left in it thins the mayonnaise, and the salad comes out watery.
  4. 4
    Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix.
  5. 5
    Add the green onion.
  6. 6
    Add the dill, salt and black pepper and mix gently, until evenly combined.
  7. 7
    Fill each cucumber round with the tuna salad, arrange on a serving plate and serve.
