Does anyone have a tuna fish recipe that doesn't involve mayo? Not a huge fan of mustard but willing to try. Thanks!

    Here is a thread that asks the same exact thing from a little while ago.

    A can of tuna with some fresh lemon juice, a couple tbsp of olive oil, cracked pepper, celery, fresh basil, and onion/bell pepper/other veggies if you crave it. I personally love some capers in it for a unique Mediterranean flavor! Eat in a lettuce wrap, on some flatbread, or just plain. Love it!

    I make mine this way a lot too!

    Another way I make it is 1 large can of tuna (12 oz), 1 can of cannelli beans drained, some diced roasted red pepper, chopped parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and some salt & pepper to taste. Makes a very filling lunch for two days with a handful of crackers or fresh veggies and you don't need to deal with the soggy bread situation.

    For tuna chunks this is the best. Fry onions, peppers and garlic. Add some herbs, lemon, curry powder and chillie. Add your tuna, some tomatoes and add some water. Leave to simmer until a good consistency. Serve in pitta with salad or with brown rice or pasta. Delicious!!

    I like it was a couple dashes of hot sauce, some black beans, onions, and celery seed.

    I put 1 can of tuna, 1 avocado, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt to taste, smash is all up like guacamole and eat it on 1 slice of toast or with wheat crackers. Suppose it would be good with diced tomato and jalapeño too. I've been doing avocado recipes all week and have lost 6 lbs. good luck!

    Yogurt or some type of dressing that you like or maybe an oil and vinegar mixture.

    I'm a huge mayo lover so I have to watch how much I put in my tuna, lol.

    Hi! I too have always been a big fan of mayonnaise. Unfortunately, my own recipes for tuna salad both involve mayo, one lemon/dill, and the other sweet pickle. I will send them if you would like, but for mayo-less tuna, I prefer to use Tonnino tuna filets. They come in a nice variety - in water, in olive oil, lemon/pepper, jalapeno, and my fav, garlic/caper - and I just open a jar and dump it on a bed of greens, etc.

    The other approach I have used is to make my own Paleo mayo. Sublime! There are any number of great recipes and techniques on the web. Super easy...

    If you are trying to be versatile I always refer to Pinterest and pin some recipe ideas from there

    I just had this for lunch and it was super tasty (I used canned salmon but tuna should work as well):

    On one side of a tortilla I spread out the canned salmon. I dumped some Stubb's green chile anytime sauce on top. I added some thinly sliced shallots and cheese. I folded the other side of the tortilla over and put it in the skillet over low heat. I cooked on both sides - until the cheese was melty and the tortilla was lightly browned.

    Hi,

    These are my favourites, hope you can make sense of the UK measurements :-)
    They each need one standard UK tin of tuna which I buy in water (rather than oil), the cans are 150g each. Drain out the water before you start.

    1: Tuna pasta sauce
    I personally will eat the whole lot - about 350 calories - all by myself on it's own (*ahem*) but it's 'supposed' to be shared between two people with some wholewheat pasta. I have also been known to eat half of it stuffed into a wholewheat pitta.

    Stick 1 mug of frozen peas (about 100g) in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
    Finely chop 1 small onion and fry in a pan with 1/2 teaspoon oil for a couple of minutes.
    Stir in the tuna and break it up with a wooden spoon.
    Add 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder, a good squirt of lemon juice and a dab of garlic puree. Stir well and fry for about 4 minutes.
    Tip in the peas and stir for another minute.

    2. Crunchy baked tuna
    It's quite calorific but it will feed two people - especially if you cook a couple of potato wedges on the side - and this is real comfort food for me. I figure it's better than a lot of the alternatives!

    In a decent sized bowl, mix well:
    1 tin drained tuna
    1 sachet tomato flavour cup-a-soup (I use bachelors)
    1 packet plain (ready salted) crisps (I think these are 'chips' if you live in the US, and you only want a small bag, 20 or 30g)
    1 mug sweetcorn (I think this is 2 x US cups, or you can just use 1 tin. I use frozen sweetcorn as I always have it in the freezer.)
    You might need a couple of tablespoons of water to slacken the mixture off a bit.

    Put the whole lot into an ovenproof dish and bake for 20-30 minutes. (25 minutes in my fan oven at 170 degrees C does the trick, and also cooks a couple of home made chips - fries? - to go alongside)

    I like to use a nice shallow dish to get lots of the crispy surface. If I am feeling really sorry for myself I will eat the lot straight out of the dish with a fork and spoon!

    Tuna patties. Mix drained tuna, egg white, green onions, shredded cheese (if desired), ground crackers. Make into patties and grill in non stick pan. Patties need to be somewhat dry, but not falling apart.
