Anyone have any simple canned tuna recipes? Normally I'll eat it straight out of the can I'm looking to switch it up a bit.

    I add (hot) pico de gallo and (any) Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressing.

    I usually do tuna two ways:

    1) tuna, mayo, diced red onion, diced celery, chopped bread and butter pickles, a dollop of ketchup and a smaller one of mustard, S&P to taste

    2) tuna, mayo, diced red onion, diced celery, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, S&P to taste

    I like @JenHuedy's idea...

    A friend of mine used to make it this way:

    3 cans tuna
    1 to 1.5 cups of Quaker 100% Natural Granola Cereal
    .33 cup of honey

    He was quite strange in many other ways, too.

    My favorite is to add Mayo, dill pickle relish, and diced onion all to taste. But Mayo is so many calories so sometimes I do fat free sour cream (usually like full fat but I like to use a lot for tuna) and a dash of soy sauce instead of Mayo. Different flavor but still delicious

    I keep mine pretty simple: mayo, diced celery or bell pepper, dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt/pepper, and Sriracha.

    I generally just mix up the standard tuna salad recipe. Lately I've been switching between two variations:

    tuna, yellow mustard to taste, hot and sweet pickles, and a smidge of mayo
    OR
    tuna, a little light miracle whip, and this stuff called Wickles sandwich spread (it's a spicy pickle/pepper relish...yum!)

    I eat them in a spinach wrap or stuffed in raw bell pepper halves.

    This is my favorite. I eat this at least once a week, and I use canned salmon with pico de gallo, and eat with avocado.

    I love adding mustard, a little light mayo, pickles, and red onion
    Or calorie wise Italian dressing and pickles
    Or with helluva good dip and pickles

    Basically, it needs pickles.

    I like to take English muffins and put tuna with a little mayo and lots of Dijon on, and I throw in pepper jack cheese on the muffin if I've got the calories left, with lettuce and tomato. Mmm.
