REFRESHING CUCUMBER SALAD WITH TUNA

The base of this salad is the Persian cucumber. Each is about 6 inches long, about half the size of a regular cucumber, and thin-skinned. You could also use English cucumbers, which are seedless and have a tasty thin skin as well. All cucumbers are a natural remedy for water retention and will help ease bloating.
