Veggies you can put in tuna

[HoosierBuckeye]

I'm on a fish kick (made feta-spinach salmon roast last night, had tuna for lunch today). I was wondering if people have suggestions of other chopped veggies -- or other things -- to add to canned tuna:

• celery
• mushrooms
• cucumber
• carrots
• onions

Anything else? Today, I used a regular size can of tuna and added in these chopped veggies: 6 slices of mushrooms, about 1/4 cup of chopped celery, and 1/4 cup cucumber, plus 2 tablespoons mayo. I put half that mixture on a plate (I love bulking up my foods with veggies; it looks like there's so much food!), topped it with a slice of Swiis cheese, and made a breadless tuna melt. Had some smoked salmon as well. Yummy lunch!

I OD'd on tuna but when I do eat it now I fill it with lots of veggies and be sure to throw it on a mound of lettuce.

Second the olives! I LOVE chopped green olives in my tuna salad.

Capers. They don't bulk it up much, but they do add a nice flavor.

black olives
chives
parsley
(just about any herb you wish, really - as long as you like it)
just about any green stuff you wish, too (spinach, for example)

How about stuffing the tuna in a nice homegrown tomato!
