You will surely like this appetizer. It's light, refreshing ... perfect for hot days. We are going to prepare a still paste low calorie since we are going to do without mayonnaise. And we will put that cream on some cucumber slices that will replace the traditional slices of toast.
You can make the pasta or pate with a mincer, with a food processor or even finely chop all the ingredients with a knife.
And if you want to prepare another appetizer to surprise, look at these candied carrots. Also great.

Ingredients
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 150 g of canned tuna (weight of tuna once drained)
- 10 g of extra virgin olive oil
- 40 g of ricotta or cottage cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- 6 green olives
- 7 capers
- Sal Island
- Pepper
Preparation
We prepare the ingredients of the pate.
We put the washed and dried lettuce leaves in a mincer or in a food processor (Thermomix type).
Add the olives and capers and chop again.
We add the tuna and the ricotta.
We bite again.
Season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and a little pepper. We mix again to get a paste.
We wash the cucumber well and cut it into slices.
We put a teaspoon of the tuna paste that we have made on each cucumber slice.
We serve immediately.
Notes
Olive oil does not need to be added if we use tuna in olive oil. In that case it is best not to drain it excessively.
