    Anyone have any good recipes for canned tuna that don't involve mayo at all? Please share! It's so dry to eat on it's own!

    Mix with a can of condensed mushroom soup and half a bag of potato chips. That's my husband's recipe.

    I mix it with low fat cottage cheese as a (sort of) replacement for mayo, as well as an even higher protein booster. then i like to have it in a big bowl with sweetcorn and cucumber- and it's so healthy!
    It's definitely one of my go to lunches and you can't fault it, being so low carb and high protein.
    Another favourite is splitting a red pepper, taking out the seeds and middle bit and stuffing the two halves with a tin of tuna. Then a little low fat cheese, shove it in the oven for a little and voila- a low carb tuna melt! Also, I'm sure you could mix some green veg with the tuna- I think somewhere in the recipe I found it suggested celery.

    The absolute BEST way to cut back the fat:

    Tuna, 1/4 or less of the mayo you would usually use, fine diced red onion, fine diced dill pickle, then add pickle juice instead of the rest of the mayo.....It will get all creamy still, be more tangy and dill-icious, and it has no/low calories to add pickles and juice! Try it out and let me know!

    I mix a tin of tuna with low fat cream cheese, cayenne pepper, chopped tomato and chopped cucumber then eat it on its own or put it in a wrap with cheese. :drinker:

    I like to mix it with wasabi horseradish sauce -- it's a prepared sauce, usually stocked near the mustard in the grocery store. Lots of flavor, and it only has 10-15 calories per serving.

    I like to put my wasabi tuna over a big pile of greens for a dinner salad. Diced avocado is a nice addition, too!
