    I eat it with chopped celery, 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp fat-free zesty italian dressing.

    Well obviously there is tuna sashimi. Grilled Tuna is very good which I like to marinade in soy sauce and some herbs like basil and cilantro. If you're talking canned tuna a recipe I made that I really enjoy is tuna curry which I make by cooking onions, garlic, ginger and peppers in olive oil. Then I add the tuna and cook that for a couple minutes then add curry powder and some tomato.

    Ya, I'm thinking canned tuna. I usually have it with mayo, pickles and onion. Its so much easier to throw together a lunch using tuna, but getting tired of the same thing. :indifferent:

    It's good mixed with whatever you like and stuffed in a tomato or green pepper.

    Might sound weird but a buddy of mine suggested throwing a dollop of salsa on it and it's great that way, not to mention super fast and easy.

    Go to the fish market - get a 4oz steak of Ahi Tuna (Yellow Fin)
    A touch of salt on it - - take some sesame seeds - brown them up.
    Coat the tuna w/ it - sear in a pan for about 45 seconds on each side.
    Slice nice and thin.
    Best tuna you will ever eat.

    If you are talking about the stuff in a can - My old standby is a tsp of Miracle whip light, 3 chopped bread and butter pickle slices, mix well - put on wheat toast w/ some lettuce. Ummm...good! Works the same way for chicken in a can as well!

    Fresh spinach, a low cal tortilla, tomato, low fat cheese, tuna and salsa on top. Yummy!!!
