    A recipe I use for Mediteranean tuna salad is yummy: 1 can of drained tuna (in water), mix with olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh basil, and chopped kalamata olives. Season w/ salt and pepper and eat on whole grain crackers or bread.

    Nutty-Fruity Canned Tuna Salad (you can also use canned chicken or salmon)

    Kirkland Canned Tuna (12.5 oz)
    Fage fat free Greek Yogurt Plain: 2 oz
    Celery Stalk: 2 stalks finely chopped
    Smart Balance Light Mayonnaise Dressing: 1. 5 tb
    Dried Apricots: 3 pieces finely chopped (you can substitute with cranraisins)
    Blanched sliced almonds: .2 oz (or you can use pecans or walnuts)
    Seasoning: pepper, ginger, paprika (no salt).

    I stuff ½ a papaya with this salad mix, or it can be used on top of a green salad ,or in a sandwich.

    Tuna Burgers (these ones are good too!)
    Ingredients:
    * 1 can tuna
    * 1 egg white
    * 1/4 cup rolled oats
    * 1/8 cup chopped onion
    * 1/8-1/4 cup mayonnaise
    * Garlic and onion powder

    Directions:
    Combine the tuna, oats, and whisked egg whites together. Stir in onion, mayo, garlic and onion powder and then form into patties. Place the patties on a skillet and flip at half time as you would with a regular hamburger.

    I use 2 large cans of Albacore Tuna and 1 yellow onion with the recipe above.

    This recipe originally called for salmon, but it works for tuna too.

    12-18 oz fish (3 cans tuna)
    2-3 eggs
    1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
    1 small-medium onion, chopped pretty small
    vegetable (recipe had 11oz can corn, but I don't like corn, so I use a bell pepper chopped pretty small)
    and whatever spices you want (i chop a head of garlic and add that)

    squish it all together but half the crackers, form into patties and coat with cracker, then fry with a little oil
    serves 2-6, depending on how hungry people are and whether there's other food, or one person for a few meals if you store it in the fridge

    this is meant to be a fancy salmon dish, but I use tuna.

    make a cheese sauce after sizzling finely diced onion in the butter (or plain white if you dont want cheese)

    thaw out frozen peas and corn (or use canned if that's your thing)

    Drain tuna juice into the cats bowls.

    cook pasta - I like tri colored.

    mix it all together and serve (or follow the recipe that says top with breadcrumbs [extra 500cals there] and bake for 20 mins)

    This may sound boring, but I love it.

    One can solid white tuna.

    Romaine lettuce or arugula (or other crispy salad green)

    Tomatoes/cucumbers if you have them

    (homemade vinegrette - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic salt, pepper).

    if I can afford the calories a half an avacado, cut into peices.

    I have eaten this salad for years I just make it and dump the can of tuna (drained ) on top, and pour the homemade vinnegrette on top as a last step. I used to use sugar in the vinegrette, but not now, the balsamic vinegar is fine. Eating no sugar has really helped me loose weight I love this plain fresh salad and it works. I am 9 lbs to my goal and I still love it. You can change it up with different greens (belgiun endive, radiccio) I make the same salad with shrimp, or salmon or deli lunch meat.

    I have two:

    Basic Tuna Salad:

    1 Can of Tuna in water
    2 tbs Mayo of choice
    1 Red Onion
    2 med dill pickles

    Serve on crackers or whole wheat bread

    Easy Tuna Casserole

    1 box of mac and cheese of choice
    1 can of tuna
    1 can of peas
    1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs

    Make mac and cheese as directed. Add tuna and peas and mix well. Transfer to casserole dish. Top with bread crumb and broil until brown on top.

    Not the most nutritious thing ever but if you split it into several servings it isn't a calorie killer. The tuna salad I usually split into 2 servings and the casserole into 4.

    This is the my favorite tuna salad sandwich recipe. You don't have to use all the ingredients, but it is good if you can.
    1 can of tuna drained (preferably albacore)
    2 tablespoons of sliced black olives (need to use good quality brand)
    2 teaspoons of your favorite light mayonaise
    2 tablespoons of relish
    A splash of lemon juice
    A pinch of black pepper (if desired)
    1 heaping tablespoon of diced celery

    Mix, put on whole wheat bread. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and lettuce, if you have them.
