Canned tuna provides a quick and convenient meal when you don’t have time to cook, or you are in a rush. However, it isn’t always the most satisfying. Luckily, you can turn it into one by using one of the following simple ideas.

Introduce Some Creaminess

Tuna pairs well with creamy food like mayonnaise. A simple scoop of mayo mixed with a can of tuna will make a world of difference. You can also opt for Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Make it Tangy

A bit of acidity won’t hurt your canned tuna, on the contrary. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on it or add a splash of vinegar, and your tuna will get a bit tangy while having its flavors brighten up.

Mix in Some Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices make everything taste better, and canned tuna is no different. You can mix in some chopped parsley and dill or add spices like paprika and cumin to give the tuna some complexity.

Make a Tuna Salad

You don’t have to get complex to have a great tuna salad. Simply mix tuna with carrots, corn, bell peppers, and olives, and enjoy a delicious and healthy meal.
