I grew up hating canned tuna, but I bought a can of it (dill oil infused or something, the brand is ocean I think, 100 calories for the can) because I thought I'd like to try it... Taste buds change, right?

But I have no idea what to do with it.

Put it on crackers or something?

Recipes? Ideas? Help!

    Tuna Melt! Drain the tuna, throw in a little mayo and some celery, put it on a piece of bread, top it with a piece of cheese and put it open faced into the broiler. yum!

    I second the tuna melt! My version adds chopped onion to the tuna and mayo, uses an english muffin and adds a sliced hard boiled egg with the cheese on top.

    This one sounds really good! I think that's what I'll go with... If I like it, next time I'll try tuna salad, that seems to be popular.

    Canned tuna, mash half of an avocado into it (works as the mayo) and then sprinkle it with tapatio sauce :D

    it goes amazing with red onion in any kind of salad - pasta, or green. I take a small tin to work with me most days for my lunch break and eat it with bread and butter.
