If mercury is a concern, white tuna has more of it than dark.

Good i prefer dark! Finding tuna not from China and reasonably priced is another story.

I have to stuff mine in a tomato or a red bell pepper. I miss my bread. Well I get 3 slices a week of the whole grain double fiber stuff. Guess that should be reserved for the tuna.

It's a delight to have you back among the foodies here. I'll always see SKBS though.

Mmmmm ... canned tuna ... I could eat it every day.

1) Standard tuna salad, with mayo (sometimes I'll use plain Greek yogurt, or a mix of the two), celery, onion, parsley, dill and pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
2) Tuna dip with cottage cheese, onion, pepper, parsley and dill, scooped up with fresh veggies.
3) Tuna melt, made by enveloping the sandwich in foil, and pressing it with an iron on both sides. Swear to God -- it's the best way to make them. You could press the foiled sandwich in a waffle iron or any double-sided griddle, I suppose, but the iron is more fun.
4) Tuna casserole. A classic. Comfort food. Yum.
5) Nicoise salad. No anchovies, please.
6) Pasta salad with tuna, thawed frozen peas, and homemade buttermilk dressing.

Probably horrible for you but a friend got me started mixing tuna with a deluxe mac & cheese dinner, I add sliced olives, halved grape tomatoes, and sliced celery and it's delicious.

We used to do that in college, although with box mac 'n' cheese (purchased on sale, 6 for a buck!). One box of mac and cheese and a can of tuna fed all six of us.

Once in a blue moon I'll buy a box of Stouffer's frozen mac and cheese (a far cry from the old cheap store brand ) and mix it with a can of tuna. I'll have to try your suggestions.
