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?

There has been avisory's to not eat it to much because of elevated mercury in it only one can a month. Tuna salad is how i like it best on a sandwich.0

mix it with a little miracle whip and diced celery and onion and stick it in a whole wheat pita pocket with lettuce and tomato. My fave!0

Canned tuna in water, a splash of olive oil, a bit of balsamic vinegar, and a 1/2 a diced cucumber eated on crispbread.0

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!0

Tuna tostados
tuna, tbs. mayo, queeze of lemon, green onion, pepper & salt. serve on top of a tostada shell with your favorite salsa. pretty darn good.0 -
Tuna pasta salad (My Fave) - OR just tuna salad without the pasta if your cutting carbs.
I also love tuna salad sandwiches0 -
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.0

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.0 -
mix with veggie goodies any you like and stuff in a hollowed out tomato!0

Canned tuna, mash half of an avocado into it (works as the mayo) and then sprinkle it with tapatio sauce0

Tuna, cream of mushroom soup, pasta. Voila.
I like putting tuna in a grilled cheese sammich. =B0 -
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.0
-
some great ideas here, that tuna burger sounds wonderful thank you to everyone for some yummy stuff !!!0

I cut up some carrots and celery and add pepper and eat it with a fork0

I make like an arrabiata with mine, chopped tomatos chilli some herbs (whatever I have fresh usually basil though if your tuna is in dill alreday don't bother with herbs) some mushrooms and whatever pasta you fancy, just make the sauce and flake in the tuna near the end, drain your pasta and put it in the same pan so the pasta soaks up the sauce (do this for any pasta dish it'show the Italians do it) and voila.0
-
Lots of great ideas! I mix my tuna with salsa.0
-
tuna and olive pasta sauce! Yummm
lightly fry (with spray oil) some chopped onion and sliced olive until the onions are soft. Add the tuna and flake up with the onions. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and seasoning & herbs. Serve with pasta and grate some cheese on top if you wish
Easy peasy - super quick - super filling and super healthy!!0 -
I like the standard tuna salad with celery, onions, and a little mayo...sometimes dill...but I tried adding chopped water chestnuts and it was really good! A little bit of crunch. Oh..use plenty of black pepper too.0

I dislike mayo, I mix mine with two tablespoons of hot salsa, and put it on ritz crackers, sometimes with a bit of cheese.0

This sounds good too! I love salsa!
(I don't eat mayo, I replace it with greek yogurt. I also rarely eat pasta, only if I go to the specialty store and buy organic kamut fusili, which I really like, which makes a lot of these recipes difficult for me :P)0 -
I got my husband hooked on tuna, light mayo, garlic powder, chopped pecans with or without spinach in a tortilla with hot sauce. He makes it every day (mainly because that's all he can make lol)0

I make tuna salad with it usually..or just eat it plain. I get the kind in water. I hate it in oil that crap is nasty...
But I usually use 2 cans of tuna then 2 tbs of mayo, and a 3-4 inch piece of celery, chop it up, mix it in with a little bit of salt and pepper. Sometimes I add sunflower seeds and some dried cranberry if I'm feeling funky. Serves 4 probably.0 -
I add the following to tuna; hard boiled egg, light or regular mayo, mt. olive sweet pickles with splenda and put on low calorie bread.0

This if off topic, but yesterday I bought two big sashimi grade tuna steaks. Can't do that all the time because they cost over $30, not unlike buying high grade beef steaks. Anyhow, last night I seared one steak, and today I grilled the other. They were totally awesome and my girls loved them. We'll be eating more tuna steaks in the future. I'm on a heart healthy diet. That doesn't really help with your canned tuna, does it?0
