    olive oil and lemon - yum! and maybe throw in a little garlic powder because I'm weird and obsessed with garlic.

    Lemon juice with some balsamic vinegar, salsa, mix with a bit of guacamole or sour cream. Yum! :) I also eat it plain too. Someone else mentioned hummus which I do sometimes too. I get avocado flavoured hummus.

    Mustard and Sirachah, or any pepper sauce is amazing too.

    I use Smart Beat nonfat mayonnaise dressing in tuna salad along with some herbs and spices. The mayo is only 10 calories per tablespoon and tastes similar to Miracle Whip.

    I fed mine to the cat.
    I just tried and tried to do the tuna thing, but that's not something I can eat unless I am breaking a 40 day fast.
    The cat was happy!:bigsmile:

    Light mayo mixed with dijon mustard, fresh cracked pepper, dill relish, and if I'm not being lazy grated carrot and some diced celery. The idea with the light mayo is to use just enough to mellow whatever mustard you're using. Last time I used some spicy dill relish (liquid drained) and it was awesome.

    Pretty much the same way mom made it, except she used regular mayo instead of the light mayo/mustard blend.

    You just need enough wet 'goo' to make it stick, but not squishy. If I can pack it into a patty and set it onto a non-stick fry pan and keep it together for one turn, it's perfect. :)

    Note: I do only like the white chunk albacore tuna, which we never had as kids. We always ate whatever was cheapest/on sale at the time. Since tuna isn't a main sandwich choice for me anymore, I'm picky. I just wish the canned stuff could taste a wee bit closer to fresh tuna. Fresh tuna is sooooo good.

    Mix in an egg and 1/4 cup of fine bread crumbs and then cook it up.
    Mix some salsa in it
    Cottege Cheese

    oooooh, yum!...take that a step further and replace the bread crumbs with ground flax and some Spike salt-free seasoning, maybe add a few shakes of Old Bay Seasoning. and plop it on a big pile of fresh greens.

    Whole can of tuna and one tablespoon of mayo does not have so much fat in it that it will hurt you. I eat it a lot, as a matter of fact it's probably what I'm having tomorrow.

    MAKE YOUR OWN...TASTES A MILLION TIMES BETTER AND YOU CONTROL WHAT GOES IN IT.

    a million recipes on line, I like this one, but Coconut oil is hard to find in small towns, but you can always order it off Amazon.

    Coconut Mayonnaise

    Servings: 1 1/2 cups
    Preparation Time: 5 minutes

    1 whole egg
    2 egg yolks
    1 tablespoon mustard
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 cup Virgin Coconut Oil (melted if solid)
    1/2 cup virgin olive oil

    Place the eggs, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor or blender. Blend briefly for a few seconds.

    With the processor or blender running on low speed, start adding your oils very slowly. Start out with drops and then work up to about a 1/16-inch stream. This will take a few minutes.

    Continue blending until all the oil is used up and there is no free standing oil.

    I never thought of these options. And I just finished eating tuna (with mayo). I will try some of these next time.

    I usually do avocado, chopped tomato, lemon juice, and black pepper. I guess you could use some onion, celery, bell pepper or whatever veggies you like to add to the mix!

    Eat it plain... You can mix it with plain greek yogurt, and i have mixed it with cottage cheese before... It tasted like tuna salad but then the last few bites just tasted really gross..

    Definitely hummus! Sometimes I'll mash up some avacado and mix it in. Still fatty but natural, usable fat! Also, I'll still use mayo, but mix in tons of veggies, onions, celery, spinach and tomatoes so it doesn't take much mayo.

    Mix a can of tuna with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice, raw onions, raw tomatoes, and 1 tbsp of Newman's Olive Oil and Red Wine Vinegar dressing. Eat with lettuce for a salad or with a few crackers as a snack. You can leave out the rice if you want. I put rice in when I'm having it with lettuce to give it some good carbs. Olive oil is a good fat as long as you don't heat it.
