allowed, but be cautious what you put in the tuna if anything.

mix cooked green peppers and onions (not caramelized)...put a bit of sugar free ketchup and the tuna. I typically use this recipe with shredded carrots and regular ketchup to be served with crackers...but for IP I modify it to work just fine as a meal (no crackers of course).

I use it all the time. I mix in mustard, chopped onions and some dill pickles and add to a big salad, then squeeze lemon juice and sea salt on the salad. One of my favorites.

I use it. I usually put lettuce and onion and sometimes chopped up pickle on a plate and add the tuna to the top.

Canned Tuna is a lifesaver when you are stressed for time.

1. make sure it is packed in water, not oil
2. The recipe above this post is great...I use a variation of it all the time. (Tuna, Mustard, Dill Pickle, chopped raw onions, a squirt of lemon juice, sea salt, crushed black pepper. I also often add horseradish which gives it a fantastic kick without being too spicy).
Some ways I eat it are:
a) Scoop some onto a lettuce leaf and roll it up.
b) Make a salad and then add the tuna with a homemade dressing (I love using the Cilantro Lime Mustard dressing)
c) But in a container to take to work (refrigerate!). I will often bring 1 container of the tuna, and another container with either a sliced, salted and peppered (and tabasco-ed) tomato or a bed of lettuce.
d) Cut a tomato in half. Scoop out some of the wet insides. Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil on both halves and sprinkle with herbs (basil, thyme, oregano), sea salt, and pepper. Scoop in tuna in both halves. Bake at 200C for 5-15 minutes depending on how baked you want it. (I bake for about 7 minutes).
Warm...inviting... and can be put together and on the table in less than 15 minutes including baking time... less if its pre-made in the fridge.

Or if you want to get fancy, you can make Succulent Tuna Patties (click here) which are really elegant and able to be served to the whole family.



and fresh grilled tuna with just lemon/lime juice, sea salt, and heaps of black pepper... BLISS!



Long Live Tuna the Wonderfish!

Quick question in regards to canned tuna...don't we need at least two cans...and maybe a bit over once you drain the water? One can with water is only 4.5 oz...whereas with fish I think we are supposed to have 8 oz...

this is a great thread...I love the ideas but I will admit...it made me miss tuna casserole and real tuna salad with miracle whip!!! :-)

I use tuna fish mixed with walden farms new "miracle whip". I think it's pretty good, sometimes mixed with celery and onion. Its quick, too.

The night after I made, and enjoyed, the tuna cakes...my coach said No canned tuna. She couldn't really give me a reason, except maybe something with the preservatives. I used the kind packed in water, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I've been afraid to use it since, but would love to put it back on my menu!

Not sure why she would say that. Tuna is on our list and my coach just told me not to use oil packed tuna. I cant find anything online which would prevent it, and honestly, the canned tuna is a Godsend on super busy days.

The weeks that I added tuna were the weeks I lost the most. I wouldn't listen to your coach on this one!

I use the Albacore from Costco. They're 7 oz each packed in water. I do the same as others adding mustard, olives, celery, pickles, red onions, S&P. And sometime a bit of hot sauce for zing. Have it on top of mixed greens. Pretty handy when I have to eat lunch at work. Then instead of meat I'll have a packet at dinner.
