    Here's my favorite tuna salad....
    canned tuna
    light mayo
    chopped celery
    chopped apple (must be a Fuji apple :) )
    dill
    salt and pepper

    Love this! It's sweet and salty at the same time. Also, it works in some healthy carbs and fiber.

    I work with a lot of diverse ladies. My favorite has been with a can of mixed veggies and mayonnaise on a tostada, and Valentina hot sauce on top. Sounds gross, but it is pretty deliciosa.

    A good thick tuna cheese melt, you must gut the roll to pack it(i use 2 cans albecore chunk,fresh mozzarella, put it on my sandwich toaster press open a beer and enjoy, that fresh mozzarella creaming out with the tuna and the just toasted hero roll is heaven. I'm so happy my wife doesn't like tuna.

    Hot canned tuna sounds weird to me

    Mixed with cottage cheese, particularly the flavoured tuna.

    Mixed with corn and grated cheese, then melted on an english muffin.

    Made into tuna patties using packet mashed potato (seriously, it's the only good use for the stuff), egg and herbs. These reheat well too.

    Tuna mornay! Yum!

    I do this too! Can of tuna, 1/2 cup instant potato flakes, a spoonful of mayo, an egg, and a sprinkle of lemon juice and herbs. I haven't had them since I started counting my calories, wasn't sure if they were still okay to eat. Now I really want some... :)

    My husband loves putting valentina in all of his marinades/sauces. It cracks me up. I love hot sauce, but that one isn't one of my favorites - picamas for the win!

    I love the idea of the Tuna like a Crab Cake. Tuna with a little cooked oatmeal then cooked in Olive oil like a crab cake. YUM

    Mixed with very light mayonnaise and sweet corn on a jacket potato or mixed with cold pasta. Also with melted cheese in a panini but that's not fitting in my cals

    Valentina is my favorite. I first bought it because it was so cheap for a huge bottle and money was tight, now I have to have it lol.

    Did anyone say tuna casserole yet? My mom always mixed a couple cans of tuna not drained, package of cooked egg noodles, can of cream of mushroom soup ( :s I make my own now), ground pepper, mix all that then throw in a casserole dish and top with either seasoned bread crumbs or crumbled potato chips. Calorie heavy but made right it can be tasty. Oops it would help if I mentioned you then need to bake it for 20 to 30 minutes at 350f

    I like it as omelette filling. Fry some peppers and onions, add tuna and capers. Make omelette, top half with filling and foldxbz8drsuoply.jpeg

    I eat white tuna drained real good. Put in a bowl, add minced garlic, pure. Olive oil just to moisten, add a dash of balsamic vinegar, sprinkle parsley, garlic and herb powder then sprinkle with some hot pepper (optional)..

    Mac 'n cheese
    Canned tuna
    Canned tomatoes (bonus if flavored)
    Canned peas

    All your food groups in every bite, very colorful, VERY easy to prep, cheap and reheats nicely.

    I made up some Tuna salad today.. First of all I drain the tuna fish, then I rinsed the tuna with lots of water. Squeeze out as much water as possible, then I pat the tuna fish dry with lots of paper towels. I use a large can of tuna fish packed in water and I only use 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. I also add 2 tablespoon of Pepper Relish The tuna salad Is still dry, saving calories by not adding lots of calories with the Mayonnaise's. Lots of salt and pepper.

    Easy, use the tuna as a pizza base :) . Mix it with an egg and cottage cheese, spread on baking paper and top off with what ever you like on your Pizza.

    I like a large amount of finely chopped Claassen pickles, even some of the juice, mustard, and some chopped apples. Keeps it pretty low cal and still delicious!

    OP, I know you said you don't like to eat it cold, but I discovered on accident that tuna mixed in with cottage cheese is yummy! It sounds kind of gross, but I love it. It's a protein bomb!

    I will have to try this!!! Thanks!

    My husband makes tuna melts that are a little different (to me anyway, as I grew up on tuna salad made with tuna, chopped boiled egg, lots of mayo and mustard)...the way he makes it is quite "dry" with just a TINY bit of mayo (less than 1 tsp to the entire can of tuna), Worchestershire sauce, and a lot of chopped onion. In a grill or Panini press with plain wheat bread & even the lightest sprinkling of mozzarella cheese, it forms this hot & yummy pocket sandwich that to me is seriously better than most restaurant sandwiches....yum!

    I add tuna to my salad a few times a week.

    Ditto. I can't imagine why this comment got flagged. Either someone is an a-hole, or they don't understand what "Flag" means.

    I know you said you don't like the tuna salads, but I eat mine with mayo, cilantro, lime juice, and Tabasco sauce. It's a nice kick, and I eat it with lettuce or on sandwiches. I haven't tried that warm. I imagine it could be good though.

    I wouldn't call it my favorite way, but look into Nom Nom Paleo's Spicy Tuna Cakes recipe- uses sweet potato and canned tuna, which sounds gross in theory but they're surprisingly savory. I drizzle them with mustard and eat as-is, or smashed into a FlatOut flatbread wrapped up like a burrito w/veggies.
