    Believe it or not cottage cheese is AMAZING in tuna!

    Jeez I just can't get away from cottage cheese today :sad:
    I love using it to bulk up my tuna sandwich. I also add, chopped pickle, red onion, red pepper, cucumber then top my sandwich with a pile of spinach, pepper, and strawberries. SOunds weird but the sweetness works.

    Fat free Greek yogurt (a lot) and seasoning of your choice.
  • We always use mayo and a dollop of yellow mustard. My aunt and uncle use relish but the rest of us don't.

    I do a "tuna and green beans" meal twice a day on Wednesdays. Just flaked tuna and cut green beans mixed together. I do a can of each .. one of tuna and one can of beans. I find it a lot of food for only being about 165 calories.

    The thing about tuna that you have to be cautious about is the mercury content. I have checked and I am only allowed 3 cans of tuna a week. Don't want to die of mercury poisoning.

    So .. really nothing special in my tuna .. just pretty much plain for me.

    Whatever I have. Mayo, honey mustard, relish, onion, hard boiled egg, pumpkin seeds, cheese, shredded lettuce. Not all at once. Always the mayo and honey mustard, and then any combination of the other stuff. But I just eat it in a bowl, not on bread.

    Everything but the kitchen sink.

    I'll drain the tuna, add a bit of low cal /low fat mayo then start chopping veggies. I'll dice up: pickle , olives, onion, celery, cucumber , tomato, ....pretty much whatever veggies I've got. I make a huge salad out of it and then dive in with my fork if I'm trying to save carbs (dm 2). Other options I've done, some sugar free pickle relish, carrots, red pepper or roasted red peppers. Depends on the taste buds and the veggie drawer that day.

    Gives your teeth & jaw a good work out, lotta chew food for very little calories and carbs. Add a bit of S&P to taste.

    Works well with flatbread crackers and a can (plus a ton of veggies) makes a few meals out it.
  • A little bit of Mayo, mustard, and chicken paste.
    --I guess that makes it no longer Tuna.

    Tuna scramble! Drain the tuna (in oil, not brine) and put in the fry pan. The tuna is coated with oil so you dont need to oil the pan. Dice up a tomato and put it in along with any other vegetables you'd like (onion, carrot, zucchini, bell peppers or a combination of these) and continue frying until the vegetables are soft and the tuna is browned. When everything is cooked to your liking, mix up an egg/ 2 eggs/egg whites (depending on your hunger levels/ protein and fat macro needs of the day) with some cajun spice and cinnamon in a seperate bowl then mix it through until it sets to your liking.

    Absolutely amazing, and I top mine with a dollop of natural greek yoghurt and sriracha everytime (: Ridiculously tasty.
  • Omg you guys are amazing. I'm going to try them all! Thank you! <3

  • Avocado and relish...sounds gross...but it is great!!!
  • I either use nothing, and eat it right from the can, or I use Hellman's light mayo, onion, and ground pepper!
    I put lettuce and tomato in a whole wheat pita, and just gnosh! Love it! you can't tell the difference between Hellmans regular,
    and the light! I also do the same with my chicken salad but I add seedless javascript:add_smiley('drinker','post_body')cut up grapes! YUM! :love: :drinker:

    I like to mix tuna with parmesan cheese, light mayo, pickled jalapeno slices and mustard over a bed of spinach and tomatoes. Sometimes I'll add onion or chives. For tuna melts, I pair it with mayo, a slice of tomato, jalapeno slices, and pepperjack cheese.

    I use Miracle Whip, raw onion, raw celery, splash of vinegar, and thin-sliced lettuce. I also make it ahead to let the flavors meld together.

  • Barbies Tuna on Allrecipes...sweet relish, onions, curry powder (yes-curry powder), dill weed, parmesan cheese, and mayo. I only use about 1 T per 5 oz of tuna though. Yum!
