    I mix in a little red wine vinegar, add diced onions and celery, a small bit of mayo, and spread it on a cracker called Finn Crisps. Yum!

    Oh, another recipe I think I got on Wegmans, add solid white tuna to bow tie pasta, and mix in fresh squeezed lemon juice, capers, sundried tomatoes, and a little bit of olive oil. Delicious!

    Mix with a couple of table spoons of low calorie curry sauce, like jalfrezi :)

    Tuna patties are where it's at. I don't have any clue what their calorie count is but here's what I do and it is delicious.

    Open and drain several cans of tuna, empty tuna into mixing bowl.
    Open a pack of saltines and start crushing them over the tuna and mixing them in.
    Add an egg or two depending on how much tuna/crackers you are making.
    Eventually you get this mixture that you can form into balls, this is what you're looking for

    Now heat up a non-stick pan and spray it with some no stick spray.
    Form a couple tuna patties and toss them in, browning them on each side.

    These things are super delicious solo or with some peach mango salsa. I usually make quite a few all at once and toss the rest in the fridge. They reheat pretty well!

    oh definitely going to try this one!!!

    Tuna Burgers are the best. Doesn't even really taste like tuna. No need for bread. Just dip each bite in salsa. Yum!

    I make 4 patties and 1 serving is 2 patties. Calories for 2 patties is: 255.

    Ingredients:
    1-5oz can tuna, drained (packed in water)
    1 egg
    2 tablespoons FF or low fat Parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon mustard
    Dash of salt
    Dash of pepper
    1 tablespoon olive oil

    Directions:
    Mix all ingredients well.
    Set aside for about 5 minutes to let the cheese be absorbed.
    Heat a skillet fairly hot and add olive oil.
    Drop tuna by heaping tablespoon into hot skillet. (I made four patties)
    Cover and let brown for about 3-4 minutes then turn and brown the other side.

    * I also add either chopped Green peppers or chopped celery for added crunch and vegetables.

    I drain it thoroughly and put it on top of some spring mix, then drizzle a little EVOO and pink salt.

    Mix it with GREEK yogurt instead of mayo for a healthy, protein-rich alternative. Add in whatever you love with it (celery, apples, pickles, beets, etc. anything crunchy!!), and season it. Then, instead of wrapping it up in a tortilla or putting it between two slices of bread, wrap it up in some strips of cucumber! Like so:

    Super healthy alternative to regular tuna salad on bread! :)

    I make tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo. I sometimes add feta and it is yummy.

    Nice! In for tuna ideas.

    So far all I've done with it is make tuna salad for a sandwich or crackers. Tuna with mayo or greek yogurt, chopped celery, sweet pickle relish and sometimes I cut up grapes and add those as well. I've also eaten it on cucumber slices or stuffed into 4 inch celery sticks.

    My mom used to make the tuna patties (with cracker and egg). I remember I used to love them!
