Make mustard tuna by draining tuna and mixing it with mustard, then adding lemon juice, olive oil, or a little yogurt if you like. Add the mustard gradually, since Dijon, yellow, and whole-grain varieties have different levels of sharpness.
Dijon mustard gives mustard tuna a sharp, savory flavor, while yellow mustard tastes milder and more familiar. Whole-grain mustard adds texture. Start with a small amount, taste the mixture, and add more to suit your preference.
Spread mustard tuna on bread and add lettuce, sliced tomato, or cucumber for a simple sandwich. Drain the tuna well first so the filling does not make the bread soggy, and assemble the sandwich shortly before eating.
Yes, mustard tuna works well in pasta. Stir it through cooked pasta near the end, then add lemon juice, parsley, and a splash of pasta water to loosen the mixture and distribute the mustard flavor.
Mustard tuna pairs well with green salad, baked or boiled potatoes, crackers, and toasted bread. For a light meal, serve it over leafy greens; for a more filling lunch, use it in a sandwich or grain bowl.
Keep mustard tuna covered in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. If you made it with canned tuna, transfer leftovers to a clean, sealed container rather than storing them in the opened can.
Yes, mustard tuna can be a convenient protein-rich lunch. The salt and added sauce can vary between products, so serve it with vegetables or salad and check the package serving guidance if you are using a ready-made version.
Yes, canned tuna is a convenient base for mustard tuna. Drain it before mixing; if it is packed in oil, you may not need to add extra oil to the mustard mixture.
Yes, mustard tuna is usually served cold or at room temperature, especially in sandwiches and salads. Keep it refrigerated until serving and avoid leaving it out for an extended time, particularly in warm weather.
Yes, mustard tuna can contain mercury because the tuna itself may contain it; mustard does not remove it. Mercury levels vary by tuna species, so people who are pregnant or choosing tuna for children should follow local seafood guidance.

Mustard tuna combines tuna with mustard for a savoury, gently sharp flavour. It may be mixed at home with canned tuna or bought ready-made; the texture can be flaky or more finely mashed, depending on how it is prepared. Mustard’s tang balances the tuna’s rich, salty taste.
It works well in sandwiches, wraps and salads, or served on toast as a quick lunch. In the Mediterranean, it can also be paired with tomatoes, leafy greens and olives. Mustard tuna is protein-rich, with 24 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, skip mayonnaise and dress it with lemon and a little olive oil, or spoon it over a substantial salad.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
