    Lately I've been making a salad with a couple cans of tuna, a can of drained chick peas and one of those little jars of marinated artichoke hearts. Yummy, and it makes a lot.

    Hi SBH Weave

    This recipe was given to me by a friend it's good because you can have it hot/cold. Great with whole grain pasta or brown rice.

    High in all the essentials.

    1 can of tuna in sunflower oil
    1 small onion
    1 cube of Maggie seasoning
    1tsp of dried thyme
    1 tsp of fish seasoning
    1/2 a Scott bonnet pepper or dried chilli pepper
    As many cherry tomatoes as you like.
    1 Celery stick optional

    Pour the oil from the tin into a frying pan add chopped onions ,Maggie,dried thyme,fish seasoning,chilli or bonnet pepper, fry until cherry toms release juice then turn off. Then add tuna.

    Tuna patties are the "poor man"'crab cake and they're delicious! Just mix your very drained Tuna with egg or egg white, a little light mayo, Dijon mustard, some scallions, and pan fry until brown on both sides

    This sounds really good, need to try it out.

    Mix it with you favorite flavor of laughing cow cheese. I like the garlic and herb one.

    I love laughing cow cheese. I love tuna. The two together...oh my god. I hate it so much. I was so surprised at how bad I thought it tasted.

    Love both as well...
    So it wasn't a good combination?
    Which laughing cow flavor did u choose?

    I make a tuna miso noodle soup type dish for lunch...

    1. Break noodles into boiling water
    2. Add frozen veg of choice (or fresh, I just tend to keep a bag of veg in my boss' freezer)
    3. Add miso paste, soy sauce, s+p (for variation sometimes I use sweet chilli although it is v.v.high in sugar)
    4. Add tinned tuna
    5. Let it simmer for 5 mins or so, until some of the water has reduced into a thin sauce

    Delicious! I love this lunch because it is really filling yet light enough for me to feel energetic afterwards, avoiding the mid-afternoon slump!

    Tuna with a little salsa and some shredded cheese. I turn it into a quesadilla.
    It's also good mixed with some Italian dressing and eaten on crackers.

    Even though I love tuna salad I too get bored with it. My suggestion is to buy the best canned tuna. I get the Italian tuna in olive oil. Yards above the regular ones.

    I mix a tuna pouch with hummus and a little light ranch dressing. Sometimes I add in chopped onions and green olives. It's delicious! I eat this on a salad or with crackers or whole grain baguette.

    Someone on here mentioned mixing with avocado instead of mayo. We put it in a salad with sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. Tuna melt.

    Oh my favorite. Avocado instead of mayo (I'm not a mayo fan anyway), little bit of diced onion, pinch of salt. I eat it for my afternoon snack at work! Sometimes I'll throw it on a cucumber slice but usually I just eat it with a fork :smiley:

    I just mixed a can with 2 tbsp of smoked gouda pimento cheese and some chipotle hot sauce. Slathered it between 2 pieces of Sesame bread and YUM!

    If using it for a low calorie high volume food, my favorite recipe for it is a can of tuna, a copped tomato, chopped onion or scallions, diced celery, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, onion powder. Mix it all up, eat it plain or on lettuce wraps.
