    Snack of Tuna salad on Ritz cracker snacks ... make you favorite tuna salad mixture and dollop a tablespoon between 2 Ritz crackers. Have 2 as a snack.

    Meal of Salad with lettuce, chopped vegetables and drained tuna as the protein.

    Meal of 1 Russet potato sliced thin and either pan fried or oven baked served with a can of drained tuna and a pickle

    Meal of Tuna cakes ... like crab cakes but made with Tuna, ... use a dry mashed potato (no butter or milk/cream, just potato) instead of crackers or breadcrumbs in the mixture along with an egg, scallions, seasonings of your choice and fashion into small cakes then gently dredge the patties through flour before skillet frying to crisp the surface on both sides. Serve with lemon wedges, sliced tomatoes and cucumber. 2 Cakes per serving. Makes 4 cakes

    Meal of Tuna Salad stuffed tomato ... served on a bed of shredded lettuce with 2 saltine crackers and lemon wedge.

    Tip on Tuna salad ... you can use ranch dressing or yogurt instead of mayo for the mixture, but you really only need about 1 teaspoon of mayo to make tuna salad. A little goes a long way.

    1-can tuna (whatever your pleasure)
    1/3cup - diced yellow peppers
    1/3cup - diced red peppers
    1/3cup - diced green peppers
    1/4cup - diced scallions
    1/4cup - diced celery
    1/4cup - finely chopped onion
    1tbsp - miracle whip salad dressing (to hold together)

    Stove top Italian tuna casserole - add tuna to canned tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Add cooked noodles or macaroni and heat through. Top with a little parmesan and it's done!

    Definitely smells kinda gnarly but i add paprika, one hard boiled egg and a little mayo and crush it all together. Eat it with a piece of wheat toast or add salsa and spinach if your avoiding gluten.

    Hands down the best flavor is you mix the tuna in with some miracle whip and sweet relish. Miracle Whip not only tast better with tuna it has less calories and fat than regular mayo

    Instead of bacon and mozarella grated and eggs muffins, you can do mozarella, eggs, and canned tuna in the forms of muffins

    Make a tuna salad with mashed up avocado in lieu of mayo! I just do tuna, avocado, some pepper, a little garlic powder, and green onions if you have em. Super filling

    @Hearts_2015 lol. I mix everything together - 1 drained can of tuna, 1-2 egg whites, Dijon, seasonings, scallions and get 2 patties.

    I like to put a light mayo/picamas (Guatemalan hot sauce) mixture on them, but have made other mayo based sauces too.

    Basic southern tuna salad lol. Mayo, sweet pickle relish, salt & pepper. Sometimes I'll throw in some lemon and celery or red onion too. I use about a tablespoon of Hampton Creek Just Mayo. No eggs, no cholesterol, no sugar, but so good. Coming from a mayo fiend lol.
