Canned Tuna Meals

Posted by Sandy Taylor

Soy-ginger tuna

This is a terrific recipe for those who are looking for a quick post-workout meal, as the rice will also be a fast-to-digest source of carbohydrates.

To prepare, bring a ½-cup of water, two tablespoons of soy sauce, a ½-teaspoon of garlic, and a pinch of ginger to a boil. Next, add in one cup of Minute Rice and any frozen vegetables you prefer, then cover the pot with a lid until it has finished cooking -- approximately five minutes. After letting the pot stand for another five minutes, stir in a can of tuna and serve. It's that simple.

Mustard dill tuna

While this canned tuna meal could be made using dill spice, using fresh dill will often taste much better and is recommended. To prepare this canned tuna meal, open one can of tuna into a bowl, then stir in one tablespoon of mustard, a ¼-cup of chopped celery, and one ounce of freshly chopped dill. This works great when served alongside a baked potato that’s been topped with low-fat sour cream or cottage cheese.

Southwest tuna

For a creamier-tasting canned tuna meal, southwest tuna will fit the bill perfectly.This recipe calls for one tablespoon of non-fat mayo mixed with one tablespoon of low-fat Thousand Island salad dressing, along with half of a finely chopped red pepper. Stir all of this together, then mix in one can of tuna.

All these Tuna recipies are great with pasta.
