What to do with tuna

ok....I might add that this takes a little work, but for me it SOOOOO worth it!

I love adding tuna to multigrain pasta and homemade alfredo sauce (just mix together a couple different cheeses - cream cheese, parmesan, any shredded cheese that melts easily, butter or margarine, garlic). Add some veggies for extra fiber, yUM!

I love making a tuna pasta salad with regular or whole wheat pasta, tuna, celery and light ranch dressing. The ranch gives it such a good flavor and is healther than mayo!

My sister likes to mix Tuna with a bit of mayo and relish. It's actually very good. I've had it. Give it a try.

I absolutely ADORE water-packed tuna, in many ways.
My favourite way is probably to mix with a tablespoon or two of hot and spicy hummus (I found an AWESOME brand that is 24 cals per tbsp), and have on a salad, or in a pita with salad. Mixing with balsamic vinegar and dijon mustard, or lemon juice and LOTS of black pepper is equally tasty.

A quick and easy weeknight dinner is to sweat onions & garlic in water (or oil), add in a can of tomatoes, tuna, anchovies and some olives. Simmer until warm, serve over pasta/rice/in a baked potato/whatever you like!

If you really crave fats with tuna, mixing in half an avocado is delicious (high calorie, but personally I'd rather have calories from avo than mayo!)

thanks for the wonderful recipes....i love tuna and have not had it since starting my journey because the only way i have ever had it was with all the fat and calories of mayo....and i [of course ] hate the fat free mayo!

lemon juice and cracked pepper. mix in some tabouleh, cucumber, tomato lettuce and cheese. either on a wrap or just as a salad.

i personally prefer the pre flavoured one with lemon and cracked pepper. i dont drain it, i use the liquid as a salad dressing.

Tastes great with lemon juice and chopped up celery, red onion, pickles, salt, and pepper! Just like you would with mayo but with lemon juice instead. So low cal and tastes great...isn't dry either.

I like to add a little low cal/low fat Italian salad dressing, chopped red onion and red pepper to a can of water packed tuna--it's good on crackers or in a sandwich!

i like tuna with pasta

saute some onions with some garlic and mixed dried herbs in olive oil/spray until onions are soft. add in mixed peppers, carrots add a can of chopped tomatoes andand bring to boil then cook on medium for about 15/20 mins. add tuna in and cook for another 5 mins and serve with pasta!

u can omit the veg if u like and just have it as a tomato sauce. the veg bulks it up for me and is low cal.
