Method

Grate the cucumber onto a clean cloth, wrap it up and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Mix the drained cucumber with the tuna, Greek yogurt, dried mint and lemon juice.
Stir until thick and even, then let it rest for at least 20 minutes so the flavours settle.
Transfer to a bowl or lunch box and finish with sesame seeds. Parsley is a good optional garnish.
