Need ideas for canned tuna



Recommended Posts

I need some ideas for how to eat canned tuna without cooking it. I'm not crazy about tuna and mayo, so I was curious if anyone has any tricks for dressing up plain canned tuna?

I add a little bit of Oikos greek yogurt dip and a spoonful of Pickle Juice.< /p>

Try this one if you like Italian and don't put it on the bread: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/tuna-gribiche-crostini-50400000120571/

This one looks good too if you like asian: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/asian_tuna_salad/

I also like mine with a little mustard and green onions. Sometimes I shred a hardboiled egg and add it for flavor.

I use plain Greek yogurt (instead of mayo) with a bit of mustard and relish and a dash of garlic powder.< /p>

The only tuna I can eat is the lemon pepper by bumble bee. I sort of despise tuna, but I like that kind. I also hate mayo.< /p>

I do make mine with light mayo but you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt. I mix in chopped onion, sweet bread and butter pickles diced (in Splenda), and crystals brand hot sauce. It's so delicious! Sweet, spicy and tangy.

I despise tuna so I've been doing canned chicken & making chicken salad with extra boiled eggs for added Protien. Celery salt is key. Yum-O

Here's a great recipe for a tuna and white bean salad! Very refreshing and different!

I make two versions:

- With FF sour cream and horseradish

- With FF sour cream and shredded ff cheese and heated in the microwave so the cheese melts a bit.

Oh god, am I ever going to finish with the liquids portion of my new life? :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
