Tuna and cucumber salad - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, canned tuna in water or oil works well as a substitute. Drain it before using, and consider adding it without frying for a quicker option.
Replace tuna with chickpeas, grilled tofu, or boiled eggs for a protein-rich vegetarian alternative.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1–2 days. The cucumbers may soften, so enjoy fresh if possible.
Yes, but layer ingredients just before serving to prevent sogginess. Prep components separately and assemble when ready.
Try Greek yogurt with lemon juice or a vinaigrette for a healthier, tangy twist.
Double or triple ingredients proportionally. Use a bigger serving dish for layering.
Absolutely! Avocado, red onion, or shredded carrots add great texture and flavor.
Yes, it’s naturally low-carb. Just ensure the mustard and mayo are sugar-free.
