Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, until blended.

8
Assemble the sandwiches: Fill two of the cucumbers with the tuna salad and top each with 1/4 cup of sprouts.
9
Sandwich with the remaining cucumbers.
10
Cut each sandwich in half and wrap in wax paper (this will help catch all the juices).
