Oriental Tuna Salad (still a salad)

Romaine lettuce, shredded (or your favorite packaged salad)
green onion, diced
julienned carrot
1 can tuna, drained
toasted sesame oil
rice wine vinegar

Toss lettuce, green onion, carrot, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar
Flake tuna and add to salad


Linguine/Spaghetti and Tuna

Cook linguine/spaghetti as directed but cut the time by a minute or
two so pasta is a bit less than al dente
In a frying pan, saute shallot, garlic, red and green pepper in a
small amout of olive oil.
Drain linguine/spaghetti and add to frying pan. Flake tuna into the
mix. Toss briefly until heated. Season with salt and pepper and
shredded parmesan.
