I completely LOVE tuna sandwiches! I eat them every day nearly.
Looking for new recipes to shake things up a bit.

I usually do
2 slices bread
1/2 can tuna
1 tablespoon olive oil mayo (low fat)
1/2 dill pickle
1-2 slices tomato
1/2 stick celery
1-2 slices onion
dash of Parmesan cheese
dash of pepper

all of this is
237calories
25 carbs
8 fat
18 protein

how about you?

    I always mix my tuna with light sour cream instead of mayo, it's low cal, low sodium, and very low fat!

    I LOVE tuna, lite miracle whip, relish, and cut up red grapes.... the sweetness of the grapes is sooo good.. and I love the little pop of juiciness (sp?) when you bite down on one.

    I love to have some hot chili or sweet chili tuna with either mountain bread or 2 slices of wholemeal bread. It's good for when you don't want your sangas to get soggy!

    This is a recipe for tuna melts, it's from Cooking Light magazine - they are amazing and if you really want to cut calories you could always use a low cal bread

    Ingredients

    2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (I use 1.5 tsp olive oil and it still tastes delicious and has less calories)
    2 tablespoons thinly sliced shallots
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 (6-ounce) can solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
    1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 avocado (chopped)
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
    1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
    2 (6-ounce) pieces French bread, halved lengthwise and toasted
    Preparation

    1. Preheat broiler to high.
    2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to coat. Place juice in a small bowl. Peel, seed, and chop avocado. Add avocado to juice; toss. Add avocado mixture and tomatoes to tuna mixture; toss well to combine. Sprinkle cheese evenly over cut sides of bread, and broil for 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Place 1 bread slice, cheese side up, on each of 4 plates, and divide tuna mixture evenly among bread slices.

    I mix mine with the Olive Oil Cracked Pepper Mayo, grape tomatoes, and green olives. The cracked pepper mayo is so good with the tuna!

    I haven't had tuna since starting MFP 3 months ago because I always had mine with mayo which I have now banned from my house. I totally love all these new ways for me to have my tuna.

    I have a recipe for tuna burgers that had Dijon mustard, lite italian dressing, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper as needed, formed into patties and browned. Leave out the egg and breadcrumbs and cooking and add a smidge of finely chopped onion and it is a nonmayo twist on tuna salad. Both are yummy :)

    i'm a purist with tuna, and don't add vegies and stuff. i make 3-4 cans at a time, add mayo, a little mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and, my fave ingredient, True Lime powder. i put in less mayo than i think i'll need, and keep mixing long after it needs it, almost whipping it, so it doesn't need as much mayo. it's light, almost fluffy, savory, with a nice tang from the lime powder. i spread a Tbs and a half on whole wheat bread, and yum! and now i want a tuna sandwich...
