tuna + mayo
tuna + mayo + a little mustard
tuna + mayo + chopped celery
tuna + mayo + chopped onions
tuna + mayo + spinich
or all of them combined

I usually put it on some grain 7 bread or a whole wheat wrap. you should be careful though because the mercury levels are pretty high and once mercury enters your system it stays for a life. higher levels are found in bigger fish (fish eat fish). also a lot of the reports on the internet will tell you the levels but these reports are form the 80s. my school (rutgers university) recently did another research and the levels of mercury have pretty much doubled from the other reports. just be careful and eat it like once a week.

stick to the ligh tuna, it has the least. the albacore has more since its a bigger fish.

Lots of things... And cause I am lazy I'll just quote myself from where I quoted myseld in another posts!

Summary:

Quote:

Try these -
1. Add black pepper, lemon juice and some low salt tamari (concentrated soy sauce so you do not need much) plus some wasabi for a taste of japan
2. Add some garlic, pepper and mint
3. Add some crushed chilli, ginger and coriander for a thai flavour
4. Add some bulsamic vinegar and pepper
5. Add fat free creamed cottage cheese (just like cream cheese) and chives.
6. Add fat free salsa, some mustard or some other condiment.
7. Buy the flavoured tuna
8. Buy real tuna and cook it yourself with any number of combinations of herbs or spices
9. Buy salmon instead

More detailed, and if you are a little less 'strict' with your diet:

Quote:

I like the taste of tuna by itself as it is... so I can eat it no problem!

But I also have these little tubs of herbs and spices that are the best things invented!! Some of them are pastes (have to keep them in the fridge) while others are just like normal dried spices so I can mix and match and get creative and add LOTS of combinations. For example -

Japanese tuna: Black pepper, lemon, salt-reduced soy sauce (with or without wasabi)
Thai tuna: Chilli, lemon grass, ginger and coriander leaf
Chinese tuna: Ginger, soy and chilli
Italian tuna: Pepper, basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar
Indian Tuna: Cummin, garam masala, ground coriander seeds

I usually add these to a huge warm bowl of steamed vegetables - things like broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, brussel sprouts, baby spinach, zuchini, water chestnuts, chinese vegetables etc. It is especially yummy if I steam them to be infused with the same, or complimentary, flavours.

Or I add them to a big bowl of fresh salad - things like mixed lettuce, fresh baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, shredded beetroot, bean sprouts, cucumber, asparagus, celery and mung beans and then top it all with a good dose of fresh black pepper. You can also add a scoop of cottage cheese or a handful of something like almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds.

Another suggestion is to make a tuna and egg-white omlette with grilled eggplant, tomatos and mushrooms. You use plain tuna in this. All you do is get a non-stick pan and fry some garlic and onions. Add some tomato and mushroom and when they are golden brown add some lightly beaten egg whites. Let this cook until it is nearly done and then add the tuna (you don't need to cook the tuna, you just need it to be heated up) with some pepper. While you are waiting for the onions to fry and the egg whites to cook, under the broiler/grill of your oven (or, you could even roast it in a hot oven) put some thinly sliced eggplant. Cook this until it is golden and then take it out, let it cool a little and then slice it into straws. Add this to the egg whites when you add the tuna. Then, let it finish cooking, fold it in half and serve! You have a high protien, very delicous tuna meal!

Also tasty for the plain tuna is to take some sprouted or pumpernickel bread and toast it lightly then add tomato, tuna, mushroom, fat free cheese (I like fat free cottage cheese or some low salt, fat free fetta) and some pepper and then put it back under the grill/broiler until the cheese is melted. Some avacado also goes really well on these if you don't mind the little bit of fat.

Another suggestion which is really tasty is to go and get yourself (or, if you can be bothered then make yourself) some no-fat vegetable soups. I like thick and chunky soups like wild-mushroom and chive, garlic roasted vegetables, sweet potato and ginger and lentil and vegetable soups. I then add a can of tuna and heat it all up in the microwave. It makes a really yummy stew type thing. Just be carefull about the soups if you buy them. Make sure they are made with minimal or no added fat/sugar/salt or other nasty things.

Other things you can add -
Mustard
Fat free hommus
Cottage Cheese
