    Tuna pack (water) (80 cal)
    Sandwich thin (100 cal)
    Red pepper hummus (25-50 cal)
    Low fat sting cheese ("string" in to pieces) (50 cal)

    Make two open faced tuna "sandwiches" by spreading some hummus on the bread topped with the tuna and string cheese and place in the toaster oven!
    Low calorie, low fat and filling

    Tuna in fantastic! Instead of mayo, I like to add in some avocado. Like others mentioned, Greek yogurt is also a great substitute. Toss in some relish, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, and egg - magnifico!

    I don't really like Tuna so I substitute the Salmon that comes in the little plastic tub things. A little lite mayo and some fresh chopped green onion is enough. Occassionally I use the diet (saccarine) sweet relish.

    I like that they're getting away from the cans since those cause significant BHP spikes. I'm not sure what the consequences of that is but it doesn't seem like something you want happening with something you eat frequently (or feed your kids regularly!).

    I like tuna (canned or sushi grade, seared) on top of a salad. With the canned tuna, I find if I also have some cottage cheese on top of a leafy green/ vegetable salad, I hardly need any dressing at all.

    BEST TUNA RECIPE EVER!!! I got it from Lydia's italy cooking show. You can adjust the amounts as you like, Lydia's original recipe had tuna in oil and a TON of olive oil. I have reduced the amt of oil four our purposes. You also might want to add more vinegar and seasoning if you like it very seasoned. Very healthy and very yummy!

    2 cans albacore or chunk light in water, drained
    1 can garbanzo beans, drained
    1/2 red onion, chopped
    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsely
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    1 tsp italian seasoning
    1 tsp minced garlic
    salt and pepper to taste.

    Mix all ingredients, chill and serve scooped on whole romaine leaves. DELICIOUS!!!

    If anyone like Jimmy Johns tuna Sandwiches than you will like this much healthier way of making it (minus the celery)... I take the can of tuna and actually squeeze all the extra juice out of it, chop up some onion and add Mayo as you see fit (i use a little less than a tblspoon per can) and then a shake or two of soy sauce... mix er up and enjoy!

    Recently I tried creamy horseradish in place of mayo. If you like spicy, it was fantastic and only about 30 cal. for a tablespoon of horseradish. Added some onion and roasted red pepper to the mix and ate in on wheat crackers. Yum.

    I mix mine with humus... it is really good!

    Me too! Best tuna is mixed with roasted red pepper hummus with a few sweet gherkins and a hardboiled egg in it.... Eaten right out of the BOWL!
    Okay TWO of you can't be ignored, gonna get some hummus and tuna on my next shopping trip. Mayo-fied tuna may have seen it's last day in my house. Thanks for the thread and thanks for this idea.

    I mix my canned tuna with avocado, a splash of lemon juice, and whatever spices you would normally use (mrs. dash, cayenne, etc). Healthy fats!
    This... and then I put it all into a big lettuce leaf (although I like the cucumber idea, too) and eat it all. One caveat: I only eat it once a week or less due to the mercury levels and the high sodium content. But I do love tuna, the only fish I actually like.

    I love tuna with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, jalapenos, and lime juice. It's kind of like ceviche....(if that's how you spell it... lol) Sooooo good! Light and fresh. On a bed of salad greens, or on a corn tortilla....

    In reply to the post of 1/9/13 at 10:39AM: For lunch today I had something very similar to your recipe, but instead of tuna used Sardines in oil. It was delicious. I also love watching Lydia's Italy cooking show.

    Tuna tacos! (at work..we only have a microwave)

    Warm taco shells in microwave...combine tuna and salsa and warm in small microwave safe bowl.....add some spinach to the bottom of shell and scoop tuna and salsa on top, you can add cheese if you want, I normally pull apart string cheese and add to the top.

    I like to mix mine with creamy horseradish instead of mayo. I get the creamy consistency plus a good kick of heat at the same time. Pickles and some sweet relish cut the heat if I use too much.

    I love horseradish and hadn't thought of this! Thanks!!
