Ingredients for Tuna salad with cucumber and avocado Serves 2
Cucumber 1/2 piece Onion 1/2 piece Canned tuna 100 grams Lime 1/2 fruit Cilantro 10 g Seasoning 10 g
- You should choose onions with dry outer skins, free from scratches on the body and root.
- Avoid selecting onions with peeling skins, those with grooves along the body, and do not choose onions that have sprouted at the tip.
- For storage, you should place onions in a dark, stable temperature environment, in a wide and ventilated metal basket.
Tips for choosing delicious cucumbers that are not bitter:
- You should choose cucumbers that are bright green, evenly colored, without dark spots or yellowing, and not bent or slightly curved.
- Long, firm cucumbers will be crunchier and tastier than shorter, round ones.
- Avoid buying cucumbers that bulge in the middle or have a large head and small tail (and vice versa) as these are overripe cucumbers, with many seeds and excess water, which do not taste good.
- Cucumbers with yellow spots on the body indicate that they have been stored for a long time and are beginning to spoil.
