I usually have tuna salad ready for my week for a quick snack on crackers or a sandwich for lunch. But I was getting a little tired of the same old tuna salad with mayo, etc. I thought, I make a really good Asian Cucumber Salad...what if I combined the two!?! So, after adjusting everything to include the tuna and not overpower that flavor, I think this works really nicely and is a refreshing change of pace.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
