    That looks delish! Thanks so much! I wonder if adding mushrooms will make it better or overwhelming

    Just made this for lunch: can light tuna in water drained, 2 cups spinach, 1/2 apple chopped, small toss of dried cranberries, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, some fresh Parmesan cheese-YUM and super filling.

    I made this the other day, and it was good: http://bits-of-taste.blogspot.com/2009/11/pie-is-my-family-all-time-favourite.html

    The measurements aren't exact on there, so here's what I used:

    Two 5 oz cans of tuna, drained
    22oz of potaoes
    Substituted whole milk with 1/3 cup of 1% milk. Use more or less depending on how many potatoes you're using
    I kept the butter seeing as 1tbsp doesn't have too many calories.

    You can skip the cheese or keep it if you'd like.

    1 can of tuna, drain, mix in Dijon mustard to taste. Put on bread. Add lettuce, tomato, pickles, or cheese if you want.

    I love to make tuna with some mayo and chopped up yellow bell pepper! I put some on original flavor triscuits and call it lunch.

    Someone posted on here a while ago about using hummus in tuna instead of mayonnaise.
    I thought that sounded kind of gross, but I tried it and it was actually really really good.

    It's a totally different dish, though - more zesty less creamy. But also many fewer calories.

    I add chopped onion, minced celery, salt, pepper, sriracha chili sauce and dijon mustard. I've been experimenting with different flavors of hummus and haven't yet found one I don't like.

    I cut a pita in half, stuff it with the tuna and some sliced tomato and pickles and a bit of lettuce and it's a surprisingly filling lunch for less than 200 calories.

    Canned tuna (I prefer the pouches) x2
    1/3c bread crumbs
    1 egg
    Green onions
    Dijon mustard
    Dill to taste

    Mix it all together and form into patties and cook over medium heat. Tuna burgers!

    Yes on tuna cakes. I use an egg, mustard, seasonings and no breadcrumbs. It comes out amazing.
