I came across this site last night and I thought I'd share. It has several ways to prepare/season canned tuna. A great meal in a pinch.

I had tuna with balsamic vinegar, cracked pepper and lemon juice last night on a green salad and it was delicious.

Enjoy!

    Be careful about the mercuray in tuna. I ate it all the time until I found out about the mercury risk with eating to much. It is a real threat!

    I add spicy brown mustard, less than normal mayo, and relish to my tuna. I love it on the Arnold rye sandwich rounds.

    Yummmmyyyyy!!!

    YES!!! You are absolutely correct. Thanks for bringing this up.

    I keep a can on hand only for emergency purposes (like when I want to order a pizza when there is "nothing" in the house to eat).

    I would personally not eat tuna more than a couple of times a month, maximum.

    Athenos - Feta Traditional, 1/2 cup
    Produce - Red Onion (Medium), 1 cup
    Bell Peppers Red - Red Peppers, 1 medium
    Boboli - Thin Pizza Crust, 1 crust
    Olive Oil - Extra Virgin, 6 tsp
    Mezzetta - Marinated Artichoke Hearts, 1 container (12 pieces ea.)
    Garlic - Raw, 3 cloves
    Chicken of the Sea - Pink Salmon (6oz Pouch), 1 container (6 oz ea.)


    This was in a magazine and called for tuna, but I switched it for Salmon.

    Super easy just put it all together and either bake for 8 min on 450 or do what we did and throw it on the grill for a bit. It was SOOOOOOO good. 1/4 pizza is 415 calories if you use Salmon

    (roast the garlic in the olive oil and then spread on the crust before adding all the veggies and meat.)

    Regarding the mercury content... chunk light tuna has a fraction of the mercury content of white or albacore tuna. I switched to chunk light a while back because of this, and never looked back. Another note, I stopped buying tuna in cans, I only buy it in the foil pouches now. It is more tender and moist, and you don't have to drain it.
