I have literally 50+ cans of tuna in the cabinet. Aside from the obvious tuna salad, I sometimes make it hot in an omelette with cheese. My mom always gagged at the thought of ot tune like in a casserole.

Anyway, any ideas you guys can share about how you eat it now. I was thinking it can be mixed with salad dressing in place of mayo..just add in the onion and celery. Any other ideas you have been cooking? Hot or cold.

Sidrah, I love tuna and have it at least once a week. I make tuna salad with tuna, diced onions, celery, tomato, dill pickle....whatever I have on hand. To this I add 2 tbl. of low fat ranch dressing or no fat walden farms dressing. I pile the tuna salad onto my salad greens. To me, this tastes just like the old way with mayo.

I used to put tuna salad on toast with cheese and bake it in a toaster oven. To do that now, I would need to find a base.....maybe roasted zucchini or turnips?? I would skip the cheese of course, but the tuna tastes great heated. I think I'll try it!

I've been mixing it with zesty Italian salad dressing for years. That's my favorite. Sometimes I use a spicy mustard instead. I like the omelet idea. I put salmon in omelettes. Yum. You could also try making tuna patties. I mix 1/4 - 1/3 cup of egg beaters to 6 oz tuna, then spices (garlic powder, onion, pepper, whatever sounds good). Instead of 1 patty, I make 4 or 5 small patties. They ar easy to flip that way. Hope that helps.

Good ideas, especially considering there were like 40 typos in that original post.

When I make salmon omelettes, I add cream cheese (not now, but I did).

Tuna melts are great....maybe using the cheese soy crisps as crackers would work for that taste.

I can't tell you how happy I am to run across this thread. I am going to have Tuna tomorrow I have been looking at my cans wondering what in the world to do with them.

Thanks guys!

Okay, YUM YUM YUM is all I have to say. I made this last night...wow, so so good. Kinda funny, I havn't stopped thinking about it all day. They got nice and crisp and so tasty. I put a sliced up scallion from my garden it it also...so good.

Can you tell I love food!?
