Canned tuna is a great item to have in the store cupboard. All you have to do is open a can and you have some tasty, healthy protein ready to go. So many meals can be made with tuna, and it’s easy to make them super delicious as canned tuna has so much flavor of its own. Here are some ideas for simple but tasty meals. 

Nicoise Salad

This salad comprises a few basic ingredients but results in a perfect mixture of flavors and textures. Simply combine canned tuna with boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, crunchy lettuce, and tomatoes. Drizzle over some olive oil and a splash of vinegar, and you can even add olives or diced onion if you fancy. 

Grilled Cheese 

The humble grilled cheese is one of the best meals out there, and if you’ve never tried it with tuna then make sure to try this next time you make one. Adding some finely sliced red onion will take this to the next level, for a meal that’s simple, high in protein, and delicious. 

Pasta Salad

Tuna and pasta are one of the best pairings, and a pasta salad is an easy and tasty way to enjoy them together. A classic choice is to add sweet corn, red onion, and mayonnaise for a super satisfying meal, but you can add any ingredients you like.
