Tuna salad HELP

[donaboss 131]

Hi skinnies

I am at the gym at the moment but I want to make a tuna salad for tomorrow and I have to do idea how to make it since I have never made it before. I know it's silly but was never a tuna kinda girl. Tomorrow I start stage 3 and I really need to increase my Protein. I hope someone knows something that's easy and doesn't take a lot of time.

I was thinking tuna in Water mixed with scallions, light mayo an very tiny bit of salt?! Is that good enough? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated it.

Drain the Water, add mayo, and some lemon pepper, diced green onion, sometimes I add a bit of pickle relish.

In addition, I usually add a chopped hard boiled egg to mine (adds more protein), dill weed (I like the flavor) and salt is not needed (canned tuna has plenty of salt).

Some things I like to add to my tuna salad- diced red onion, diced Tomato, black olives, lemon zest/juice. I also play around with different seasonings. I've added a tiny but of curry powder to mine. It's yum! I've also mixed a little mashed avacodo in with it delish!

What SandeeD said, plus my NUT wanted me to sacrifice the mayo for plain Greek Yogurt. Yucky....never made it that way again.

At home, we just use light mayo or that mayo-olive oil spread. If I am making it for myself and not to share, I will use S/F sweet relish instead of dill.

Right now, I am using the store bought tuna salad or chicken salad in 4 ounce can and throw away the crackers that come with it.

I use high quality white albacore tuna (my husband works for a seafood company and buys it by the case), low fat mayo, mustard, finely chopped onion or onion powder, sweet relish and a few drops of liquid smoke.

Also, I have to watch my salt, so for my canned tuna (and chicken) I drain the Fluid, then rinse the tuna (or chicken) in regular Water, then pat dry before mixing. This takes out of lot of the salt that it's packed in, it really makes a big difference in the taste. I like to experiment with spices too, one of my favorites is cumin.

So many ways to enjoy tuna! I use the Water packed albacore from costco. Drain well, little low cal mayo, finely diced celery, dill pickle and red or green onions. Celery for crunch and this makes me happy!

Going to make some right now...

When making tuna salad, what do you guys eat it on, or just alone? (I don't mind eating it alone, I do that sometimes when I make it, cause it's so good)

Sometimes ill put it on a bed of raw baby spinach. Doesn't need dressing or anything since there's so much flavor in the tuna. I've eaten it with sliced cucumbers also like I would use crackers. Most of the time I just eat it plain though.

Sliced cukes is an awesome idea. Thanks

When my new tummy can tolerate tomatoes, I will go back to stuffing my tuna into a Tomato that has been quartered almost to the bottom and opened up a bit. I have also been known to slice a tomato real thick and eat the tuna salad off that.

Love the liquid smoke idea! I make a fake chick fil a sauce with that!

In my tuna I currently just put mustard & mayo because crunchy veggies aren't sitting well with me. But before then I added chopped green onions and celery.
