Tuna and what?

ZOOpergal

Hey...Thinking about having tuna for lunch instead of my usual. Do you have suggestions on what to mix in with it other than mayo? Has anyone tried mixing it with just mustard or horseradish? Clearly I like spices but I'm just not keen on eating dry tuna, and I don't wanna take the mayo route. Thanks in advance.

My husband makes it with like 1/2 to 1 tsp (not TBSP) or less of mayo...and a bit of Worcestershire sauce, slivered almonds, celery & onion. It's super good, very savory and different from my usual (I like mine BEST with more mayo, mustard and loads of chopped boiled egg).

I mix mine with horseradish all the time. I also do half mayo/half mustard. And sometimes I mix it with cream cheese. I suppose it depends on what kind of mood I'm in.

I quite like it with Caesar dressing mixed in. Or rice vinegar.

Thanks! They sound great.

If you loathe mayo as civilized people do (j/k...maybe), After you de-can it in a bowl put some lemon or lime juice on it, mix it around and let it sit for a bit. Helps kill the 'fishy' taste. Then add just a little italian dressing or whichever dressing you like, mix it around. Throw it in a wrap with whatever extra's, lettuce, sprouts, onions, olives, pickles, cheese, etc.

I feel the same way. . . I started putting it in my salads, straight from the can (drained of course) I put in my lettuce, tomato, celery, carrots, radishes, peppers. . . whatever you put in a salad and add the tuna as your "meat" and your salad dressing, of course (i usually measure about 1 TBSP of Fat Free French) But, its makes it taste GREAT straight from the can and it allows it to go a bit further than just mixing it with mayo or mustard or whatever. . . makes for a GREAT healthy, protein filled, and filling meal! :happy:

Mix with mashed avocado and a little salt and pepper. You won't miss the mayo, promise!

It is good with cottage cheese and sriracha if you like spicy.
I also love it with dill, chopped celery and dried onion.

I sieve my own yogurt to make yogurt cheese. I use this instead of mayo, bumps the protein with out the calories of mayo and tastes great.

I do tuna and mustard every morning ... kind of sick of it actually lol

Yes! ^^^
Avocado and tuna, maybe a little pickle relish, and some cayenne pepper. So good!

I love tuna with spicy salsa. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

My mom used to mix tuna with mushroom soup and peas and pour it over toast. I haven't had that in a while. Should do that again sometime. Mmmm.

Here's what I do...
Black beans, rice, tuna mixed in with Tomato sauce

That sounds delicious.

Slaterlouise

I add coarse ground salt and pepper and tiny drizzle of vinegar..

sihbbie

Never even thought of avocado with tuna. Great idea!

trekkie_bbs

I add 4 TBSP Miracle Whip, and 6 or so Tony Paco's Original Pickles & Pepper's diced up. Say that 5 times fast I dare ya. Yeah a tad bit extra of MW than most like but I normally make a meal out of it with a 9oz. can of Bumble Bee chunk light tuna in water. If I have the extra calories I also add an egg or two diced up with the yolk.

Lots of calories but again for me it's a full meal.

I sometimes have tuna, salad, and a dollop of low cal hummus on top. Some cracked pepper and sea salt to taste. Or, tuna, salad and a homemade dressing. eg, a squeeze of lemon, dash soy sauce, pepper.

psych101

mixed with mashed avocado and lots of pepper mmmmmm

littlelaura

I mix tuna with avocado and salsa and put it on top of a simple salad.

runfatmanrun

Hummus, mustard, and pickles. And some hot sauce.

ZOOpergal

These ideas are AMAZING...LOVE the avocado...might just spice it up with some Tapatio hot sauce...mmm.

krennie8

i may have to try some of these, i only ever do 1 tbsp light mw, 1 tbsp low fat mayo, 6 pickles + pickle slices on bread (so much sodium...), and chopped celery. Also like to add lettuce, tomato & sometimes onion & rarely a slice of cheese, provolone or pepper jack. Always toasted bread.

Kimba1949

I mix it with low fat cheddar or a 2% cheese slice! micro it and put in wrap or on pita and you have a tuna melt. No mayo and very moist.

valm17

I do avocado, mango and lots of lemon juice (red onions & cayenne pepper if you like) its fresh and the lemon & cayenne make you feel full.:happy:

valm17

Oh yes & tapatio!

draya114

I do a little mayo, LOTS of mustard (im a mustard freak), chopped pickles, chopped onion, and half a boil egg chopped , and salt and pepper.. I love to stuff this in half a pita pocket with some lettuce, tomato, and pickles. So good!
