homemade cheese chips (just cheese melted in the microwave until crispy) are delish dipped in warm tuna salad. My personal favorite:
scallions, green olives, and bit of chopped dill pickle and real mayo!

I have been making tuna melts for lunch. I found just the thing that gives it that special something that puts it over the top. At wallmart there is a sweet gherkin made with sucralose. they also come in a SF bread and butter.. the brand is Nalley. They are really good with 1 carb per serving. I chop them up and add them to the salad....also 1 tbsp of the pickle juice. This has been a lunch go to for about a week now. Yum.

I'm so glad this old thread was revived, or I never would have seen it. I can't believe it never occurred to me to have a tuna melt w/o the bread! <insert head-slap emoticon here>

I just made it for lunch and it was delicious.

I made tuna patties in coconut oil, without the cracker crumbs. I used two cans of tuna, 2 eggs, and parmesean cheese. Fried em up and made a sour cream topping, they were great. I wasn't happy with the egg leakage, but the taste made up for that. They really hit the spot.

Somewhere here in the recipes section, there is one for chicken patties made with canned chicken. Sounds similar to your tuna patties!
Either way, both are deeeeelish with cheese

Oh I am going to have to try that with chicken.

I just finished eating another DELICIOUS tuna melt (sans bread, of course) and had to come back (again) and say "THANK YOU!"
