2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt

1 (13 oz) can tuna (drained and flaked)

6 leaves Bibb lettuce (optional)

In medium bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, basil and black pepper

I just had tuna salad (tuna, mayo, green onion and some shredded carrot) with a half an avocado (cubed and mixed in). It was yummy!

I'll add some to a spinach salad with lots of veggies...or eat it with brown rice and avocado...yum...

Not sure the exact recipe for it, but my mom used to make a cold tuna noodle casserole. It had tuna, macaroni noodles, cooked (formerly frozen) peas, and miracle whip to hold it all together. It's pretty yummy as far as tuna and peas go

I just eat tuna salad sandwiches lol sorry. No help here. Although today I made it into a wrap instead of a sandwich. I put mayo, pickle relish, pistachios and curry in it lol.

One thing I recently did that turns my tuna tasty (and I like to keep things simple.. =P) is the following:

1 can tuna (I use white albacore 10oz)
2 tbsp salsa (I use Arriba! fire roasted salsa)
1/4 cup shelled pistachios

ends up being about 75 calories per serving for a 10oz can (1/4 cup serving)

I seriously heart tuna. I eat it straight out of the can. Or with pasta and cream of mushroom soup. I thrown it on salads. I mix it in with rice. I eat tuna like most people eat chicken.

have to go with a tuna casarole!! tuna by itself I would always pass on!! but you hide it in something I will eat it!!!

You can make a stir-fry with it. Throw in some veggies like brocolli, bell peppers, onion, celery or whatever you want, add some soy sauce and serve over brown rice or even alone if you're cutting out carbs.
Have you tried the new flavored tuna in the pouches? I looove them and when making sandwiches I just throw the mayo in the pouch and mix it in there so no messy clean-up. I also make tuna patties. Just use the same recipe you would use to make a salmon cake.

I made tuna burger patties recently that were really tasty and easy to make. Here is how I made them:

* 5oz can of tuna in water
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup of bread crumbs (I use seasoned ones)
* 2 TBSP of chopped onion (optional)
* 1/8 tsp of garlic powder or to taste
* 1/8 tsp of black pepper or to taste
* Olive oil cooking spray

Drain tuna and put into medium sized bowl. Add eggs and mix together. Then add bread crumbs, onion if using any, and seasonings and mix them together. Then form patties and spray pan so they don't stick. Cook in pan on medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Enjoy!

Makes 2 sandwich thin sized patties or 4 smaller patties.

For additional calories I enjoy this on a sandwich thin and sometimes add a slice of cheddar and sliced tomato.

I take one can of tuna and mix it with one cup of low fat cottage cheese and dice one tomato to add to it. You can still add boiled egg as well if you would like. This tastes great on salad or plain and lasts me two to three meals.

P.s. I load it up with tons of pepper, but I love pepper!
