Lemon pepper marinade!!! Mind blown - why have I never thought of this?
It's good!

I've used these before but never thought about using them in tuna. Great idea!1 -
I'm just lazy and when I am in the mood to eat the tuna, I just eat it straight out of the can.
I always buy canned tuna packed only in water, drain the water out, add just a tbsp of olive oil (which is a lot less oil than is used if it comes canned in oil), add some salt/pepper to taste and I'm done.
It's not "interesting" but it provides a huge amount of protein w/very few extra cals with very little effort.
I buy the flavored packets and often eat it straight from the pouch.
My mom used to mix chopped black olives into our tuna salad for sandwiches. If sodium is not an issue, it's really good.0 -

A lot of the marinades are too high sodium, but I have some mrs dash teriyaki I need to try now.0 -
I just had white albacore water-packed tuna with Kalamata olives, capers, tomatoes, white wine vinegar, black pepper, crushed garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Very tasty. Sometimes I'll cook white beans with all the ingredients listed except the tuna (I add the tuna later).1

tuna packets (in water)
a little mayo
salt & pepper
Eat using cucumber slices like they were crackers1 -
Mayo, tuna loves to be eaten with a bit of fat. Add chopped dill pickles.
If I'm looking for a less fat substitute for mayo, I'll use greek yoghurt instead.0 -
And a little mayo, mustard, onion and pickle to make tuna salad. I use tuna packed in water. Love it this way on wheat toast.0

Lemon pepper, tuna, olive oil, cucumbers and bell peppers (chopped up) add onion if you like onion. Very yummy! I love the salmon flavored packets much more than the tuna ones but still buy tuna flavored packets if they are on sale.0

I mash it with avocado. Sometimes a little mango chipotle dressing. Tastes kinda like sushi...2

They sell tins of tuna mixed with different sorts of beans, rice or pasta, corn, capsicum, onion, spices, etc.
Quick and low calorie, high protein, good micronutrients, nom.0 -
Try a tablespoon of Mrs. Renfro's green salsa. This stuff is magic, I toss it in everything. If you've never tried it, it's basically roasted and puréed jalapeños.
I put everything in tuna, depending on my mood. Lately it's been paprika, cumin, sesame oil, and a little Dijon mustard.0 -
i mix my tuna with the mayo that has olive oil in it..and then add dill spice. or dillweed. gives it the nice pickle-y flavor without the sodium. sometimes add finely diced onion.0

Oh wow.... you guys are awesome! Some of these are mouth watering hehe. My wife was excited when I told her about these suggestions. Time to go shopping hehe.
Thank you all

- Core out large tomato and fill with seasoned tuna. Especially good when tomatoes are in season.
This... this is what i'm going to make next. Is this meal already in MFP database? Whats the calorie range?0 -
I'm sorry. I didn't add it. It depends on what pasta you use. I use fibergourmet pasta that I buy online due to having high cholesterol. It has 18 grams of fiber. I'm not a fan of whole wheat pasta then I read on forum where someone suggested these.
It's basically:
1 serving of pasta (130 calories for the fibergourmet)
1 can or pack of tuna packed in water (90 calories)
Diced pickles (0 calories - I like dill pickles instead of sweet)
Diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. of light mayo. (70 calories)0 -
I'm basic and I just mix it with mayo. Sometimes honey mustard. I eat it plain, on a sandwich, or as a dip for Ritz crackers.0
