I had a great spicy asian tuna salad at Lifetime Fitness and I made a few adjustments to the recipe to make it even healthier.
3 cans of albacore tuna drained
1 T Sambal Olek (ground fresh chili paste)
1 T sesame oil
1/2 T low sodium soy sauce
1/2 T sesame seeds, toasted
1 T honey
1/4 c. dried cranberries, chopped
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1/4 c. red pepper, chopped fine
1 tsp grated ginger
2 T cilantro, chopped
Mix all ingrediants together. Place in fridge for at least an hour for the flavors to develop throughout. Eat within 3 days. Serving size is 1/2c. Makes about 5 servings. 149 calories per serving. The original recipe added 4T of olive oil mayo but upped the calories to 240 per serving. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less of the chili paste.0 -
Tuna Quinoa Fritters - So Good!
1/2 C. Quinoa
1 C. chicken or veggie broth of your choice (I used 1tsp Better Than Bouillon)
1 can tuna (drained and rinsed)
1 egg
1 clove garlic - diced
1/2 a small onion - diced
1 C. Spinach - chopped
1/2 Red pepper - diced
2 tbl flax meal (optional)
2-4 tbl all purpose flour
1) Add quinoa, onions, & garlic to your broth and bring to a boil until most of the liquid has absorbed or evaporated.
2) As your mixture cools (I was in a hurry, so I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes) prepare the rest of your ingredients. Dice the red pepper, and spinach, and drain and rinse your tuna. Preheat your oven to 375.
2) Combine cooked quinoa, veggies, and tuna in a large bowl with an egg. Add flax meal and flour as necessary to make your mixture into a consistency that is managable. You don't want it too dry.
3. Mold mixture into small patties, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.0 -
I think I have the strangest one yet, since my husband is the only person who wasn't too scared to try it:
1 can of tuna
2 tablespoons of sweet relish
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
It's more of a sweet tuna, but I love it on whole wheat crackers. I can't stand mayo, eggs, mustard, etc. I have no idea how I came across this strange concoction.
I had no idea that was strange. I eat it the exact same way but with a shot of Red Wine Vinegar instead of Balsamic and I add purple onion. Mayo is the devil. I LOVE sweet tuna with loads of lettuce on toasted Ezekiel bread.0 -

Poisson cru. I went to French Polynesia for my honeymoon, and was served poisson cru. It was amazing! I've made it a few times in the past, but not recently. This thread has me craving some now. It's pretty expensive, so I only make it once in a blue moon.1

I make a really great sauce out of Low fat Fage plain greek yogurt, greek seasoning, and grated cucumber....I use this instead of mayo when making tuna salad. It gives it such a fresh flavor. Add a few chopped tomatoes and you are in business!0

Tuna is wonderful. Honestly, I love grilled tuna fish sandwiches the most. They're so hearty and not that high on the calorie scale. Just make sure to use light miracle whip when doing so. 50 kcal slices of bread don't hurt either.
I know what I am trying this week - yum!0 -

Make spaghetti squash, string it like spaghetti, mix a bowl full with one egg, one can of tuna, cheese (any I used cheddar and parmesean), and optional bacon or green onions. Make into patties and fry with a little coconut oil. YUM. Ends up tasting kinda like hashbrowns but with fewer carbs and cals and more vitamins.
This is how I use up my leftover squash the day after making "spaghetti"0 -
I love tuna cakes. All you need is tuna, bread crumbs, an egg, and whatever seasoning you want.
