    "Open one can of tuna, mix in 1 tbsp of mayo and mustard, spread in on a slice of bread, put in in the toaster oven, and put some tomato slices on top once it's nice and toasty "

    tuna patties or mix with 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt 1 tbsp onions and 1 tbsp green peppers and a squeeze of lemon juice. . . awesome on spinach salad or toast. I even like tuna with whole wheat elbow noodles, peas and carrots. . .

    IDon;t put mayo in my tuna. I use vinegar instead.

    I use vinegar when I have salad cream, It makes less salad cream go further .... If that makes sense.

    Anyways I have it either with salad, or with a jacket potato :)

    I drain it, put it in a bowl and mix a bit of sweet chilli sauce in with it. Protein-y goodness. Oh, and I only have canned tuna in fresh water. No brine or oils.

    i mix it with corn and put it in a pitta bread (no mayo).
    If you don't like that idea then throw the can at a passing skinny person!

    Love this comment!

    Lately I've been eating a lot of solid white albacore with a tbsp of lemonaise and some diced onions. I mix it up really well and then eat it with some 34 degree multigrain crackers. Nine of them are only 35 cals!

    Ceviche

    diced onion, tomato, cilatro, jalapeno and cucumber
    salt pepper

    add lime to your taste let it sit in fridge for a while and eat with wheat thisn or tostadas or on its own

    the lime gets rid of the fishy taste and it taste liek any other ceviche


    you can use clamato in it but i personally dont like clamato

    I chop up a cucumber and/or a tomato and add some salsa (505 Southwestern Organic Green Chili Sauce is my FAVORITE). Then I just mix it all up and eat it with a fork.

    I LOVE doing this with my canned tuna:

    Add:

    1 Tbsp of Low-Fat Mayo with Olive Oil
    Small handful of Sunflower Kernels (Unsalted)
    1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard

    Mix it all together and eat with about 10 Sea Salt Pita Chips (Trader Joe's), eat it by itself OR eat on a piece of toasted multigrain bread.

    Great snack or meal! :)
