    2 TBL salad pizzaz orange cranberry almondine - shake the bag so you get a good mix of almonds and cranberry (in a bag by produce section)
    1tsp. cilantro
    1 cauliflower floret chopped small for crunch
    1/8 avocado
    1 pouch of chicken of the sea tuna
    1 TBL light may (optional)
    about 4 butter lettuce leaves.
    mix all ingredients except lettuce. Use lettuce as a"wrap". The whole thing is about 187 calories without mayo.

    I eat tuna on a bed of brown rice/quinoa pasta with spinach and cherry tomatoes with just lemon pepper. Works for me.

    Some great ideas on here.
    My go to is mashed avocado on a slice of toast with tuna- I like hickory or Mexican gourmet the best with siracha. I've also subbed smoked salmon for tuna for a "special" open faced sandwhich.

    pickle juice n a few diced pickles
    Growing up we'd have tuna w/ relish or we'd cut up a pickle into it, add mustard, mayo and cut up celery.
    Now, I don't have the patience for all that so its usually everything minus the chopped stuff :neutral_face:
    Tuna melts....YUM!!
    Id never had it made this way before but I was helping a friend w/ her yard sale and she made some adding chopped onion (I don't care for raw, I like mine cooked) and hard boiled eggs...it was different (not in a bad way though)!

    Hello all, I love cooking so normally I cut some onion, capsicum, parsley, salt, peper and garlic; mix everything with 1 egg and a spoon of bread crumbs to make a paste then make patties and put them into the oven @ 170 degrees celsius until they are golden.

    Thank I am sooo going to try this. I just had the sweet and spicy with a bit of mayo the other day and loved it. I do not have any almond butter but going to try this with maybe either PB2 or Regular PB. I love zucchini noodles so I will be trying this soon!

    Depends what I'm in the mood for. I use the Trade Joe's no-salt albacore and usually add a little mayo or tzatziki and season with a little garlic salt, dill weed and black pepper. Then I add tons of chopped veggies.

    I usually mix in Miracle Whip cause I don't like mayo, some relish and either garlic powder or fresh pressed garlic depending on if i have fresh garlic. Put it on top of toasted bread and it is AMAZING!

    Sriracha! Mmmmm. Also, today mixing lemon pepper starkist tuna with rotel... haven't tried it before, but gonna give it a whirl.

    i don't know what sriracha is....how did it turn out?

    Sriracha is a spicy red pepper sauce. Usually find it in the Asian section of the market. Very unique flavor and a little goes a long way!

    I love tuna on top of salad greens with lemon juice or vinegar, celery, cucumbers and capers. Also sub my homemade yogurt for mayo for a lot less calories.

    One of my colleagues told me a quick protein fix for after the gym with tuna, tuna mixed with hot baked beans... sounds a bit debatable but perfectly tasty! I like to add some chilli and fresh raw onions.
