      I've made 'tuna cakes' using the recipe for crab cakes & replacing the crab with tuna.
      Yum! :drinker:

      Tuna Salad Appetizers

      1 can Clover light tuna in water
      ¼ cup chopped celery
      ¼ cup chopped red or while onion
      ¼ cup broccoli florets
      2 tbsp Miracle Whip Non-Fat Dressing (green label, 15cals per tbsp)
      1 tsp balsamic vinegar
      16 spinach leaves
      Fresh ground pepper

      Directions: Drain tuna. Mix all ingredients together and spoon onto freshly washed spinach leaves. Makes
      approximately 16.

      WW Points: 0

      * If you eat all 16 its 3 WW points or if you use the more commonly found Miracle Whip Light 30 cal per
      tbsp its 4 WW point for all 16.

      Here’s the photo I took

      I bet that would be really good on basil leaves. Basil is one of my hot summer greens.
      I also have chard,kale and amaranth but prefer them cooked.

      bumping this to read later for recipes. My favorite thing is to add a little diced tomato, chopped celery, avacado, mayo, flaxseed, spicy brown mustard, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper. Mix well, and stuff a pita with the tuna mixture and spinach or chard and chow down.

      I like to mash up tuna with avacado as a replacement for Mayo :)

      I use fresh tuna for this but I suppose you could sub canned tuna (two cans)

      1 Tuna steak (about 8 oz)
      3/4 C Picksweet Seasoning (bell peppers, onion and celery)
      1 tsp chopped garlic
      1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
      1/4 tsp Nature's Seasoning
      1 Tbs lemon juice
      1 egg
      1/2 C Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing

      Poach tuna steak in water, lemon juice and Old Bay Seasoning. Save the poaching liquid. Saute veggies until soft and clear. In a small bowl, combine the poaching liquid and stuffing. Shred the tuna, add to stuffing mixture. Beat egg slightly and add this and Nature's Seasoning to the stuffing/tuna mixture. Divide into 4 portions and shape into patties. Rest in refrig for at least an hour.
      I use a Seasoned Bread Crumbs for dip/flip before frying in non stick skillet sprayed with olive oil. Fry on both sides long enough to cook egg and heat thoroughly.

      Who would have thought tuna would get this much love??? Great recipes! Here's how I like to eat it:
      - mixed w/ avocado, diced onion and celery, S&P, fresh lemon juice
      -mixed w/ hummus and same above minus avocado
      -add to pasta w/ halved cherry tomatoes, maybe some black olives
      -instead of pasta, make spiralized zucchini noodles then add the cherry tomatoes, diced red peppers, etc.
      -stuffed inside a beefsteak tomato
      -tuna quesadilla
      -tuna patties - use a binder like breadcrumbs, egg white, some chopped veggies and seasoning of choice
      -straight out of a packet on Mary's Gone Crackers w/ a little salsa
      -top a mixed green salad w/ veggies (red pepper, diced carrot, cucumber, beets, onion). For dressing I just use a bit of fresh lemon juice and a spritz of olive oil

      I like to mix tuna w/ penne -- and I enjoy the flavored tuna so I don't have to add hardly anything into my pasta. :)

      A bit of mayo, some honey mustard, lemon juice, pepper and relish or chopped pickle. I eat it on top of some higher-fiber multi-grain crackers as a meal. It's relatively low calorie and I find it filling.

      Ran this through the recipe app on MFP and it guesstimated around 135 per serving. Obviously this goes up and down based on the actual brands of mayo, stuffing mix and cheese used.
