canned tuna uses?

I don't eat it. It smells disgusting. BLECH!!!

mixed with mayo, spread on toasted wheat bread with a little lettuce. Simple and yummy

mixed with mayo, celery, apple pieces, red onion and walnuts! delicious

Little mericle whip light, seasoning (I use creole or mrs dash), little cheese and sweet relish,maybe some egg. And then I eat it on Natures Own sandwich rounds. It is good.

I love it with vinegar , cucumber and celery ,eating it as I post lol .

I mix a can of tuna with a small can of sliced black olives and then mix it together with dijon mustard. The tuna is only 90 calories, the olives are 100 and the mustard is like 10!

drained and straight from the can. i don't add anything to it (i.e. mayo, mustard). sometimes i'll use a whole wheat ritz cracker to scoop it up

Here are 3 of my creations with photos I took;

Tuna canned in water is .59 a can almost weekly and is such a great protein source I love using it for lunches. I used to think tuna was gross as a kid like many people but as an adult, it’s so good!

I eat quite a bit of tuna for my lunch at work. Usually mixed with a dash of low fat salad cream and a bit of sweetcorn and have that as a topping for my jacket potato.

Or, i chop up a bit of red onion, some cherry tomatoes, mix it up with a bit of low fat salad cream, get a wrap, lay on a handful of salad leaves (rockets my fave), spoon on the tuna mix (as much or as little as you like) and wrap it up..... yummy!!!!!

Oh...I am SO glad you posted this. I have found that Tuna is really a wonderfish.. Not only is Tuna so cheap (i paid 2.00 for 4 cans at Wal-Mart); you can do sooo much with it..I have recently discovered that it really does taste good plain with a little dijonaise (5 cal/tsp!)

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago..it sounds gross, but it tastes GREAT

Tuna with Mayo and Relish !!!! YUMMY....

GENIUS!
I'm doing this ASAP!
yumyumyummmm!

Instead of mayo I use plain yogurt (trust me you can't tell the difference), mustard, relish, and a dash of chili powder and pepper. Sometimes I just eat it like that or sometimes I put it on toast.

Interesting...I will have to try this.

Yup! This is correct, you can't taste it. I buy 1 jar of light mayo a year and have to toss it after using no more than 1-2 tbsp's. Such a waste and regular yogurt when you are done cooking with it can still be eaten by itself or with fruit as a treat. Much better investment.

Bumblebee makes little packages of pre seasoned tuna with crackers. I had the lemon pepper it was pretty good. Next time I'll prolly make it myself and use whole grain crackers. It came with Ritz - ew!

Mix with diced onion and low fat mayo. Put on top of whole wheat english muffins and then top with fat free cheese slice. Toast in oven. Low cal tuna melt--my favorite way to eat tuna!
