Tastes and smells like a whole bowl of tuna and needs a bit of seasoning. Gets a bit bland after eating it so many times.

I liked this but my wife hated it. Very odd since we usually have similar tastes.

Really lovely, light and nutritious recipe. My main comment is that this will not feed 4 people as the recipe indicates (as should be obvious from the nutritional info - 285 kcal does not a meal make). I typically double the amounts to yield 4 servings. Also, to my taste there could be more cucumber…
