I like to mix it in with rice, veggies, and a little hot sauce. I also make quick tuna melts when I don't feel like preparing lunch for work. Very simple with few ingredients - toasted whole wheat bread, tuna, seasoning of choice, and mozzarella. Call me crazy, but sometimes I mix a tablespoon of BBQ sauce in with the tuna and then the melt tastes like a pulled pork sandwich.

I didn't think about mixing it with rice. That sounds yummy. And I am starting to eat Jasmine rice and I love it.
I love tuna mixed with lemon pepper marinade and extra fresh cracked pepper. I've been eating it that way since I was a kid, though I don't really eat much tuna as an adult.
I always ate it on sliced tomatoes if they were in season, wrapped in lettuce, or with wasa when I was in high school.
I make tuna salad with cottage cheese, red onions, chopped veg (usually celery and perhaps cucumber), lemon juice, capers and plenty of dill. I eat it straight, or on Kavli Norwegian flatbread.
Last time I had tuna, I had it as a sweet potato tuna melt. I mixed the tuna with cottage cheese and salsa, put it on top of half a baked sweet potato, topped it with mozzarella, and then broiled it for a few minutes.
I also like making tuna burgers with onion, a tiny bit of mayo, an egg, some oats, and some spices. Depending on what veggies I have around, I'll throw in some peppers, or celery, or something. Then I just fry it up in olive oil.
I used to love mixing tuna and hard boiled eggs with mayo, topping a half a hamburger bun, and putting cheddar on it and baking it that way, but I try to keep my grain consumption fairly low. Though now that I think of it, I might try that combo on a sweet potato.
Some great ideas here...especially the laughing cow cheese idea!
Sweet potatoes and tuna??? I like them separately...the combo sounds odd, but I'm intrigued!
I agree in that all of the ideas are GREAT!!! I am making a list and I want to try EACH and EVERY one of them. I love everyone's ideas. I appreciate the responses. Looking to read more ideas.
Tuna Tartare, Tuna Carpaccio, Seared Tuna, and Fagioli,Tunno e Cipolle (Tuscan Beans, Tuna and Fresh Onions) also there are various recipes for tuna in red sauce that is served over pasta that is quite popular in Italy as well...
