Tuna Mayo: In a small mixing bowl combine tuna, mayo, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Test for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
Sandwich: Spread one side of each of your slices of bread with butter. Top 3 of those slices with tuna, then top with cucumber slices (overlapping as needed). Finish with a second slice of bread (butter-side-down).
Serve: Slice each sandwich into thirds then serve up and enjoy!

Notes
a) Can I make these ahead of time? - The longer the tuna mayo/cucumber rests the more watery they become. As such I don't recommend making the full sandwich ahead of time. You can make the tuna mayo and tightly cover in the fridge for 2-3days, just add a dollop of mayo and stir before making the sandwich. b) Can I serve as a normal sandwich? - You can keep them as normal sandwiches. You can also toast the bread if you're doing that. If you want more of a loaded tuna sandwich check out my Tuna Salad Sandwich!c) Butter - Important to butter the bread. This will act as a barrier to the bread and help prevent the excess moisture making it soggy.d) Calories - assuming 2 tsp butter per whole sandwich. Calories for 1 finger sandwich:
