CUCUMBER TUNA BOATS

For a refreshing summer meal, you can't beat this creamy tuna salad mounded into cucumber halves. Hard-cooked eggs make the salad extra hearty, and the crispness of the cucumber is delightful. It's an extra-special luncheon entree or light supper. -Mildred Stubbs, Hamlet, North Carolina

TUNA SALAD CUCUMBER BOATS

This time of the year everybody is growing these huge cucumbers. I am not a fan of the huge seeds in the cucumbers so this is a great way to use them. The huge seeds are scooped out and filled with tuna salad. Great for a light lunch
