Canned Tuna Suggestion?

I've always been a picky eater and am just recently starting to branch out into new foods. I heard canned tuna (in moderation) is a great health food so I picked up a can the other day but now I'm not really sure what to do with it. Usually when I eat fresh tuna it's slightly pan seared but I have no idea how to go about this. I'm planning on eating it for lunch but I don't know what to mix with it. I absolutely hate mayo and miracle whip though, which is what everyone has been telling me so far. Any other canned tuna recipes that might taste good?

bump. Tuna is not one of my favorites.0
-
It is great with feta cheese, garbanzo (chick peas) and raw spinach0
-
I mix it with tomato puree and add it to pasta x0
-
salad, sandwich or in jacket potato0

Sometimes I get really tire of mayo too...I can only eat it in teeny amounts (which is good I guess)...I make brown rice and stir the tuna into it...add only pepper, no salt...?? Nothing fancy but it works in a pinch for me. Good Luck!0

I usually add some low fat mayo, pepper, dill pickles and make tuna salad out of it. I serve it on a bed of lettuce with avocado wedges. Goes well with canned peaches too if you like sweet-savory stuff! You can sub mayo with cream cheese or cottage cheese, since you don't like it!
There's Niçoise salad too! Bits of tuna, cold green beans, tomatoes and anchovies (optional if you don't like them).0 -
I eat it with mustard and sometimes taco sauce.0
-
Pasta is good with some roasted peppers or how about a low fat vinegarett with wholemeal pasta
or Lemon :0) you could make a sauce/dressing using fromaige frais0 -
I despise mayonnaise too. Foul stuff. However, just a little bit works well with tuna. You don't taste the mayo at all. Trust me, just the slightest taste of mayo makes me gag. Salt, pepper, celery, some red pepper, maybe some parmesan cheese. The mayo just helps hold everything together.0

Get the gold can albacore fillet tuna. It's $2 but soooo much better and less smelly. I forget the name/brand.0

A great replacement for mayo, for me, is avocado. I treat the avocado as I do the mayo and just mash and mix it in. So good.0

mayo, a touch of Dijon, peppers, onions, salt, pepper.
form into patties
coat in panko
pan fry
wa la tuna cakes0 -
I just add some sweet pickle relish to mine, or dill pickle relish and mix together, delish!! I like it also with sliced celery mixed in as well, and goes great with a fresh tomato and cottage cheese0

Get the solid white albacore tuna and mix it with fat free italian dressing and put in on a bed of greens with tomatoes, cucs, and what ever else veggies you like....0

I take the tuna pouches to work with 24 Kellogg's Multigrain crackers and a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Chipotle Queso Cheese. I either mix the tuna and cheese together or I spread the cheese on the crackers and add the tuna on top. Yum!0
-
you can always add lemon juice and eat it with crackers....
or add mustard, celery, a boiled egg, pickles. its all good.0 -
I mix it with honey mustard and put it on a sandwich. Also last night I mixed it with maybe a teaspoon of cream chese and salt & pepper and put it on top of 2 halves of a toasted english muffin, then topped that off with a half a slice of cheese on each side. Baked it in the toaster oven for about 8 minutes....delicious tuna melt!0

I'm not a tuna fan either and despise mayo or mayo type substitues. However I have found that I enjoy the following:
One Pouch Starkist Yellow Fin Tuna in Olive Oil (drain out as much oil as possible)
I put in a small bowl and break up (don't want to taste large pieces!!)
Since I can't stand Mayo, I add a light creamy salad dressing (only a tablespoon or so) such as Ken's Lite Vidalia Onion, or Old Cape Lite Poppyseed.
I then chop up a small quanity (chop quite small) green or red peppers, celery, or some other cruchy veggie I may have on hand.
I've also added a small amount of shredded cheese at times.
I then eat it on low calorie crackers, and it is actualy pretty good! (and a good way to get a bit of protein since I'm not a big meat eater).
I've also eaten the same tuna on a big salad, instead of turkey or ham, and it is not too bad.
Good Luck!0 -
I buy the frozen Weight Watcher Fettucine w/ broccoli and add a can of tuna to that...tuna casserole!0
