Salmon Salad and Cucumber Scoops with Tahini Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 can wild-caught salmon, drained (approx. 5 oz)
• ½ cucumber, sliced into rounds
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
2. Place the drained salmon in a bowl and flake it with a fork. Pour the tahini-olive oil dressing over the salmon and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Arrange the cucumber slices on a plate. Use them to scoop the salmon salad, or spoon the salad onto each cucumber slice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
