Preparation

  1. Make the dressing

    3 min

    In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped chives, and salt until smooth and creamy.

    Chill the dressing while preparing the vegetables for even better flavor.

  2. Prepare the ingredients

    4 min

    Slice the mini cucumbers into rounds or half-moons. Finely slice the red onion. Drain the tuna and sweetcorn.

    Use a mandoline for thinner and more even slices.

  3. Assemble the salad

    2 min

    Combine the cucumber, red onion, tuna, and sweetcorn in a large bowl. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

    Break the tuna into large flakes for a better texture.

  4. Add the dressing

    1 min

    Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad and mix carefully until everything is coated.

    Avoid overmixing to keep the tuna flaky.

  5. Serve

    1 min

    Serve chilled for maximum freshness and flavor.

    Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.
