  • Tuna Patties.. about 250 per serving (give or take) Serves 4.

    2 can tuna, 2 eggs, 1 roll of crackers (i uses the cheep walmart ones), ms. dash seasoning

    Mix it all up, then pour some light veggie oil or coconut oil in a pan and cook till nice brown color.

    Really yummy, but will smoke up your kitchen so turn off the smoke alarm for that room.

    I've recently started replacing everything Mayo with Avacado ...

    I do normally put avacado slices on my Tuna sammy;s but now I mush up a whole avacado and use it as spread or even replace mayo with my Tuna ..

    I'ts not bad, I also to chance it up get a head of lettuce, and pull a clean leaf off, put the tuna mixture in the leaf and roll it up like a wrap

    some salt doesn't hurt for flavor, but man using the Lettuce instead of bread saves you so much in everything! and it's so refreshingly crisp!

    I do this with Canned Salmon! Adding Green Onions , slivers of white onion, Lemon Juice and dill, Add 1 egg, crush bread crumbs or crackers into it ... So freaking y ummy!
  • I always use fat free or low fat plain greek yogurt or dijon mustard instead of mayo to make tuna salad and instead of bread I use lettuce leaves. I also chop up some red onion and any herb that I have either growing or have in the fridge and toss it in with the tuna. I love them and so does my roommate who is not dieting, but doesn't eat meat.

    There's a good collection of recipes at www.cloverleaf.ca, including 5-ingredient recipes and recipes that use those little flavoured tunas too. (*heart* tuna!)
  • I use garlic oil or the minced garlic as a replacement for mayo. One of my favorite recipes is a Tuna Melt. I use pumpernickle bread, 1/2 a can of tuna, garlic oil and a small amount of skim milk mozzarella and put it in my toaster oven to melt/crisp up. SOOOO good

  • I love tuna salad and I also love cottage cheese so I decided to sub the mayo with the cottage cheese and I love it! It also adds a lot more protein. Making a wrap with lettuce is great too! It makes it so much yummier.

    Makes about two cups and it's sooo good. Just had this for lunch!
    1/2 cup of this is only 48 calories. I will either eat it with whole wheat Triscuit crackers or make a wrap using a whole wheat tortilla. Also good on half an avocado!

    2 Cans of Tuna
    1/2 onion minced
    1/2 cucumber minced
    1 small tomato minced
    1/2 green pepper minced
    3Tbls balsamic vinegar
    pinch of sea salt
    2 Tbls of fresh parsley.

    mix all together and serve. simple, easy and fast for those who hate to cook! like me!!
