What's your favorite way to eat canned tuna?

I just mix in a little full fat raspberry vinigeret with mine maybe some cheese and enjoy I LOVE it!

Typically i eat it straight - drained, rinsed, and drained again (to remove the taste of the can), and then with some sea salt and pepper cracked over it....with 2 oz of good cheese and quality bread (no bagged sandwich loaves for me!), or crackers or veggies for crunch.

alternatively, i'll make an open-faced melt in the oven. tuna, zucchini relish, and the tiniest bit of miracle whip to hold it together - semi-toast a slice of bread, lightly butter, then salt, pepper, garlic powder & parsley. top with tuna mix and sliced or shredded cheese of your preference. i use shredded asiago or sliced havarti. hubby prefers cheddar. bake at 350* for 10min

before the calorie counting, i'd also do tuna casserole, using boxed mac & cheese mix as a base, but i also boiled frozen shelled edamame with the noodles. prep as instructed, fold in canned tuna and shredded cheese. put into oven-safe casserole dish, add more cheese. cover and bake. i should probably calculate the calories in that sometime and see if i can make it friendlier without sacrificing taste. Lent is coming.

....cheese might be a weakness of mine....

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

Yes! Awesome in salad with cucumbers and a diced hard boiled egg.

Straight out of can for lunch 4 to 5 times/week

I like the bumblebee sensations. I usually have them plain for lunch. They started selling them in pouches now and not just a tiny can with crackers, I never ate the crackers anyway since they weren't worth the calories. They come in tomato basil, Thai chili and lemon pepper flavors.

I thinly slice half of a medium size onion, fry them in little oil until somewhat caramelized. I drain the water and add one can tuna to the pan with caramelized onion. Incorporate the two on medium low heat. Once mixed and hot I turn the heat off. Then I add one tablespoon of mayo. Then salt to taste and lots (like 1 teaspoon) of ground black pepper! I love black pepper

My daughter likes to eat tuna with a little lemon pepper on it.

Quick and easy. Add some lite mayo and dip crackers (preferably wheat thins).

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!

That sounds good! I eat it with sweet pickle relish and a little mayo.

I like my corned tuna with cereal... just because.

Tuna and courgette fritters are the best! A can of tuna, 1 courgette, 50g self raising flour and an egg...mix it up, fry it for a few minutes on each side. This makes 4 snack portions at around 130 cals per portion.

You can freeze them and take as a snack to work, serve a few as a meal. I have mine with chilli sauce

My favourite hot tuna meal is a mixture of buckwheat and quinoa, a can of tuna, edamame beans, olives, and fried onion. Delicious, and I didn't think I liked hot canned tuna.

Ever since I read the suggestion of tuna and cottage cheese, I've been trying to convince myself to try it. But it just sounded so gross. Finally got up the courage tonight and mixed a Starkist sweet and spicy packet with some cottage cheese. Oh my word! I still can't believe how delicious it was! I don't think I could do plain canned tuna with cottage cheese, but I'll definitely be doing it again with the flavored packets. Such a delicious, low-cal way to get a good amount of protein.

I have a brand-new container of cottage cheese in the refrigerator and way too many cans of tuna in the pantry. Looks like this is getting a try-out for lunch.

Tuna cakes (like cheap crab cakes). Tuna Patties or you can make them exactly like crab cakes mixed with breadcrumbs or cooked potato. I like to top with some kind of mayo based sauce with a little heat.

I this recipe. Thanks for posting.

Today I ate my tuna in cottage cheese with salt/pepper haha doesn't that sound gross? Oh the things I want when I'm pregnant.
Seriously though it wasn't that bad. The only weird part was that I can't eat cold tuna so I heated it up, but I also can't eat warm cottage cheese.. it was kind of a conundrum but oh well I combined them even at different temps and it worked for me.
