    This one sounds rediculous, but it's really good:

    While dieting, I find the healthiest BBQ Sauce I can, and skip the oil. We just grill them in a non-stick pan until they firm up. In all honesty though, they are much better when using the oil, if you have the points to spare.

    I like it with Siraki noodles (cooked) and a wedge of light swiss laughing cow cheese.

    This is my own take on tuna salad with veggies, I just used what I had on hand. You could also use bell peppers, red onion, broccoli, etc. 325 cal for the items below.

    Trader Joe's - Organic Pasta Vegetable Radiatore, 0.5 cup dry
    Starkist - Chunk Light Tuna (In Water) 112 g
    Cucumber - Peeled, raw, 1 cup, pared, chopped
    Radishes - Raw, 2 small
    Trader Joe's - Trader Giotto's Sicilian Selezion Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 0.5 tbsp

    Mix together and make patties. Cook in skillet. I ended up eating 1.5 or 2 of them. Husband suggested that I cook the onions first.

    I made this for lunch today. It was really good, only 264 calories, 8 carbs, 12 fat, 4 sugar, and 177 sodium, but packs a whopping 34 protein. Nice! I just ate it as-is, mixed well in a bowl, but I think it would be amazing on some water crackers... I just didn't happen to have any on hand. :ohwell: Anyway, I've dubbed it, "Confetti Tuna Salad".

    Bumble Bee - Very Low Sodium *Gold Can* Prime Fillet Solid White Albacore Tuna In Water, 1 container (4 oz draineds ea.)
    Celery - Raw, 0.25 cup chopped
    Tomatoes - Red, ripe, raw, year round average, 0.5 cup, chopped or sliced
    Cabbage - Red, raw, 0.5 cup, chopped
    Kraft - Real Mayonnaise, 1 tbsp

    Dill-Pepperoncini Tuna Salad
    Recipe from the New York Times Magazine 9/5/04

    Yield: About 2 cups.

    10 to 12 ounces good-quality solid tuna packed in olive oil, well drained*
    2 scallions washed, trimmed and chopped fine
    6 pepperoncini peppers, destemmed and julienned
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    1/4 cup roasted or smoked almonds, chopped roughly, or a small handful toasted pine nuts
    1/4 cup good-quality olive oil (or the oil the tuna was packed in)
    1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
    1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or more to taste
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

    Mix all the ingredients well with a fork in a medium-size, nonreactive bowl. Taste and adjust the lemon juice and pepper. The salad can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.

    I like these simple recipes...

    2 Cans tuna (Standard UK cans, about 180g drained)
    1 Can sweetcorn
    200g Passata
    125g Ricotta Cheese
    100g Pasta (Dry weight) cooked according to instructions

    Warm the passata in a saucepan.
    Add in the tuna and sweetcorn and let the passata cook down until desired consistency.
    Stir in the ricotta and pasta. Serves 2 good portions.
    Non nom nom!

    Alternatively try
    2 Cans tuna (Standard UK cans, about 180g drained)
    1 Can sweetcorn
    200g Passata
    Curry Paste

    Throw it all in a pot and cook until thick, serve with rice or a Naan or chapatis.

    I make the Tuna Burgers that one of the posters above does. Soooo yummy! We always just called them Tuna Patties....and ate with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. Probably one of my all-time favorite foods!! Another thing I do: One can of tuna (drained), one can of green beans (drained), mix together. Too simple, but so good! I used to take that to work and it was beyond simple and I love the taste of the two mixed together. I know people that add ketchup or salt and pepper too.

    i make my own version of Whole Foods cranberry tuna that they serve in their deli. It is easy and yummy. You could eat it in a lettuce wrap or as a sandwich, but i usually just eat it as a salad.

    1 can chunk light tuna in water
    1/3 cup dried cranberries
    1 TBS Hellman's lowfat may with Olive Oil
    Onion powder to taste
    1 tsp of lemon juice (or a little more if you prefer - no calories!)
