Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) light tuna packed in water, thoroughly drained

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (or alternative: mayonnaise)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

8 small slices of whole-grain bread (or 4 large slices cut in half)

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced into rounds

Fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Olive oil, for toasting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mix:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the ripe avocado until it reaches a smooth yet slightly chunky texture.

      - Stir in the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

        Toast the Bread:

          - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil, allowing it to coat the bottom of the pan.

            - Place each slice of bread in the skillet and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can use a toaster to achieve a similar result.

              Assemble the Pockets:

                - On one slice of the toasted bread, spread a generous portion of the tuna-avocado mixture.

                  - Top the mixture with several thin slices of cucumber for added crunch and freshness.

                    - Place another slice of toasted bread on top to form a pocket. If using large slices, feel free to use a cookie cutter to create smaller, fun-shaped pockets.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        - Cut each assembled pocket in half diagonally for an attractive presentation.

                          - Arrange the pockets neatly on a serving plate, and sprinkle with freshly chopped dill or parsley to elevate the dish visually and flavor-wise.

                            - Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.

                              Enjoy!

                                - These delightful mini pockets can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them an excellent option for a snack, light lunch, or appetizer!
