    I LOVE Tuna too! I cut up a tomataoe, red onion, pickled jalapenos, lettuces and combine it all with the tuna and a little bit of light mayo! If I am really hungry I make a wrap with that!

    Great ideas here...and I know what I'm making for lunch today!! :happy:

    My favourite way is:

    2 tbsp of Light Miracle Whip (actually I use PC Blue menu whipped dressing)
    1 can tuna
    1 chopped green onion
    1/4 cup chopped craisins
    1/4 cup shredded carrot
    couple shakes of black pepper
    shredded old cheddar (low fat of course!) add on top
    handful of baby spinach- line the wrap with it

    Usually I use a whole wheat wrap but when I run out whole wheat bread will do!

    I usually use mayo but like the idea of sour cream.
    Got to have pickles (or relish), onion, celery and the secret ingredient my wife introduced to me several years ago, Chopped apple.

    I'm like Terri98... I like a little sweet bite in my tuna and lots of crunch.

    1 Can water-packed low-sodium tuna
    1 T low fat mayo or miracle whip
    1/4 finely diced apple
    1/4 stalk finely diced celery
    1 T sweet relish
    ...I eat it in pieces of lettuce- little tuna lettuce wraps! that whole recipe comes out to about 200 cals.

    I use 2 slices of Bimbo bread , honey or soft wheat, one can of bumblebee chunk light tuna, half an avocado, some pepper, and melt 2 slices of american cheese on the bread. soo yummy and so filling. Though it's not too friendly on calories. Sometimes I use Kraft Olive Oil Cracked Pepper mayo instead of avocado.

    tuna in water, chopped celery, chopped pickled jalapenos, chopped onion, olive oil cracked pepper mayo.
    Put it on an Arnold wholewheat sandwich thin w/ leaf lettuce and fresh red tomato.
    Perfect.

    For those who like tuna but also like a fishy smelling fish, I recommend mackerel. It comes in a can and is shredded like tuna and can be mixed with mayo and all those other ingredients. If you don't like that fishy smell, then this is not for you. But if you're like me, then you'll love it. Maybe even more than tuna!

    1 can of tuna
    about 2 T. dill pickle relish
    honey mustard
    (all to taste) then i put it between 2 slices of 35 calorie healthy life bread, toasted

    if i need a little extra, i melt some mozz. cheese on the bread after it's toasted.

    i also mix it with corn relish that my in-laws make, but i don't know if you can buy that at a store or not... it's my favorite!

    Just this morning, I did:

    1 can of tuna
    1.5 T miracle whip (Aldi equivalent - the lighter stuff)
    a handful of chopped green peppers (celery is banned from our house! :laugh: )
    a layer of sliced cucumbers for even more crunch
    Oat bran bread, also from Aldi.

    Not too earth shattering, but yummy.

    simple tuna:
    1 can light tuna in water (albacore apparently has higher levels of mercury)
    1 TBS Olive Oil Mayo by Kraft
    about 1 TSP minced onion
    salt & pepper to taste

    put it on whatever healthy bread or alternative you want and enjoy...I like mine wrapped in lettuce leaves from time to time.

    NOTE on tuna....if you don't know this already...tuna has higher levels of mercury than most other fish. Eating it everyday is not recommended in many circles due to the mercury content.
    I myself didn't know this for a long time....and I am not sure I suffered anything bad from all the tuna I use to eat before I found the information on mercury. but I have cut way back on my consumption.

    I recently got a tuna recipe from a coworker and I love it! It's a can of tuna in water, mayo or sour cream (low fat), dried cranberries and chopped pistachios.

    Super yummy!

    I had heard that you can replace the mayo with yogurt and it worked for me! I like to add some chopped parsley for a bit of crunch and to curb a touch of that fishy breath!

    I'm same as you, love tuna. I eat it all the time. My newest favorite way to eat it is this:

    Core a tomato and stick a paper towel on it to absorb all the juice.
    Mix 4oz. Chunk light tuna (in water) with one stalk of chopped celery, 1/4 cup copped onions, one tablespoon light Miracle whip, and 5 spinach leaves. Take the paper towel out of the tomato. Spoon the mixture into the tomato and sprinkle with a couple of smashed wheat thins. It's so delicious. I always eat a pickle spear on the side.

    My favorite thing to add to tuna is cucumbers! They add a nice refreshing taste and crunch. I mix them with tuna, fat free mayo and dijon mustard. You should also try canned salmon, I change it out with the tuna, it's very good.
