Tuna is a good source of protein and may be enjoyed for lunch or dinner; I do find that canned tuna can make a great low carb meal. If you use canned tuna try to choose high-quality, MSC - labelled tuna fish - which stands for the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard, so you know it’s certified sustainable.

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon. Thanks for visiting my blog. I put yours on my list of friends blogs. I started following yours and I would like to have the privilege of you following me too.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tuna recipes, I'll try them out.
ReplyDeleteThe tuna casserole looks delicious. I haven't had that dish since I was a child. My mother made it and salmon patties all the time. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love fish cakes/patties/burgers...and fish mornay!
ReplyDeleteKeep taking good care. :)
Tuna is always nice. Especially in sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I choose the zoodle salad!
ReplyDeleteLots that can be done with tuna.
ReplyDeleteAll look and surely must taste fantastic too!
ReplyDeleteTuna casserole for tomorrow and tuna salad next week.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas.
Thank you!
The tuna salad looks good, but I would replace the mayo with Ranch dressing. I have eaten a lot of tuna lately.
ReplyDeleteI love tuna is always delicious !!
ReplyDeleteTinned tuna is so versatile. The tuna patties look very appealing just now.
ReplyDeleteOh, that Tuna Zoodle Salad looks absolutely delicious, I LOVE tuna . . . pretty much any kind of way it's prepared. Truth-be-Told, all of these recipes look so yummy! I'm bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks for sharing these great recipes.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Safe & Blessed Weekend!
Awesome recipes, we love tuna and these are right up our ally....thanks always for awesome and delish posts. x
ReplyDeleteThey look good but I'm not into Tuna at all but I do eat a fair bit of fish.
ReplyDeleteDelicious tuna recipes Jan, we had chilli tuna last night, yum. Have just been looking back over recipes I might have missed.. made me want to get into the kitchen and start cooking, will have to hold that until tomorrow as we're off out for dinner. Hope you both have a really good weekend ✨
ReplyDeleteI have never had a tuna burger before, they sound and look delicious. Something that will be on the menu soon.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you - tuna is a terrific, low carb, low calorie meal!
ReplyDeleteI eat it often, usually in the salad form with veggies, (especially tomatoes and red onions). or as burgers. I sometimes make some burgers, and it's delicious.
Tuna is recommendable by all to all.
Cooking Tuna with tomato or bell pepper is a good combination.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you.
How good is the tuna Jan !! That salad has to be delicious. I really like tuna, in the salad, in the Russian salad, only with tomato and pepper ... etc ...
ReplyDeletethe other dishes are also delicious. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I wish you a very nice weekend, big hugs,
Caty
The zoodle recipe will come in handy as it looks like we'll have quite a few zucchinis from the garden.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipes! I love tuna fish and tuna salad for Summer!
Have a lovely weekend! Stay safe!
Dimi...
Salad looks yummy. My cherry tomatoes finally started to come in TOGETHER! I was getting one here, one there, one everywhere but not enough for a good salad. Finally! Burgers look great. I actually cooked some last week and ate like that, trying to cut some bread out. Not a fan of tuna, esp warm tuna. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletei love tuna, cold, i don't really enjoy it hot!! that first recipe is a real winner!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your recipes. Thanks Jan!
ReplyDeleteEl atún lo comemos en ensalada. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteEven though cheeseburgers are my fave, I simply adore tuna, and keep cans of it nearby. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes too! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteI had a tuna salad today.
ReplyDeleteWe eat tuna --at least once a week, usually in a salad similar to what you show here. I've never put zucchini in it though --so I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your informative posts, and recipes and thoughts... Means a lot to me!!!!
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
I always end up making tuna salad when I want tuna, and I'm never disappointed :)
ReplyDeleteJust reading your recipes I realize I have loads of tuna here and none of the other ingredients. I'll be reviewing this one next time I head home and make sure I bring them back with me.
