On hot summer days, when you don't feel like turning on the oven or spending a lot of time in the kitchen, there is a recipe for making cold cucumber rolls filled with tuna, from the Rio Mara tuna brand.
The roll combines the natural crispness of fresh cucumber with a rich tuna filling with a touch of olive oil and refreshing yogurt.
A perfect dish for entertaining or a family summer dinner. It can be served as a starter or as a light and healthy snack, and all this takes just a few minutes to prepare.
