Level it up with a few simple extra ingredients, and be amazed with what you can do with a painless can of tuna. If you’re in need of ideas, here are some delicious and extremely easy-to-prepare recipes to get you started.

For far too long, tuna has been thought of as something to sandwich between two slices of bread. While tuna sandwiches and tuna melts are absolutely delicious and should be appreciated in their own right, the amount of things that you can do with a can of tuna remains under-appreciated.
