Steps
Drain the can of tuna in water well. Wash the cucumber, then cut the cucumber and red onion into small pieces so they mix easily with the dressing.
Place the cucumber in a large bowl. Add the drained tuna and lightly flake it with a fork.
Add the chopped red onion and gently toss with the cucumber and tuna.
Add the Chinese soy sauce, taking care not to use too much because the tuna and soy sauce already contribute saltiness.
Add the Greek yogurt, grated fresh ginger, and a touch of mustard. Mix until the yogurt lightly coats the ingredients and forms a creamy dressing.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mixture and add salt to taste. Taste and adjust the lemon, mustard, or soy sauce if necessary.
Gently toss everything until the ingredients are combined. The cucumber should retain its crunch, and the mixture should be fresh, creamy, and slightly tangy.
If you want to prepare the version mentioned in the title, fold in the cubed avocado at the end, using gentle movements to avoid mashing it. Serve immediately.
Notes
The original recipe does not provide exact amounts for most ingredients; these amounts were estimated from the audio and are marked with lower confidence. The creator specifies using Chinese soy sauce and mentions that she forgot the avocado. It is best to eat the salad immediately to keep the cucumber and avocado crunchy.
