I woke up with this craving for asparagus. I have a can of tuna I was going to eat with it for a substantial, savory breakfast. Is there any way to snazz up the canned tuna without using mayo? I have limited stuff in the fridge: honey, soy sauce, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and your typical olive oil and dried herbs and some slivered almonds. I'm just looking for something very basic. Any thoughts?

    I would use the almonds garlic and mix up the honey and mustard. Seems reasonable. It all about taste preference.

    Salsa tastes good mixed into tuna, or plain non fat greek yogurt with some vinegar and a sprinkle of cheese....if you have that in your house

    I don't like mayo so tend to mix tinned tuna with some extra light philidelphia to make a tuna-mayo like consistency for wraps etc

    Natural yogurt is a good mayo substitute - but full fat yogurt, none of that fat-free crap. It will still be less calorific than mayo even if it's full fat.

    Fresh cracked pepper and a big squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

    My favorite way to eat tuna is with lemon juice (about half a lemon for 1 small can) and dill (fresh, dried, or a paste). It's quite delicious.

    Totally a lemon juice girl! I also like to "rinse" it off too. I do this after I open the can but the lid is still down on top of the tuna, I run water over it and keep pressing the lid down to squeeze the excess water out.

    Try mixing it up with chopped Pineapple. It's really refreshing and great in a jacket potato

    I can't believe i haven't seen a lot of hard boiled egg answers! I toss the yolk and chop up the white.
    + chili powder, mustard, vinegar, and sometimes a little corn!

    Probably a bit late but I add extra light garlic-herb spread

    my favorite way with tuna is to add a tiny tidge of sesame oil, a bit of soy sauce, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast (tastes similar to parmesan cheese but extremely high in b vitamins) and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

    I mix a can of tuan with an egg and 1/4 cup Progresso bread crumbs. Cook it in a frying pan for a few minutes on each side and you have a delectable tuna burger!
