This item is one you might already have in your cupboard and it could seriously upgrade any meals you’re having with tinned tuna. Tuna is a convenient item to have in the cupboard - it’s rich in protein and it's convenient. But making it taste better is easier than you might think.

If you’re eating tuna regularly, it can get repetitive. But it only takes one simple item to spice up your meal. Adding herbs or spices could totally transform your meal. Whether fresh or dried, herbs can add an extra taste into tinned tuna and you can choose which ones to add based on your favourite flavours.

Eating Choice says: “Fresh or dried herbs and spices can dramatically change the flavor profile of canned tuna.

“Dill, parsley, chives, and celery seed are classic additions. For a bolder flavour, try adding red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or curry powder. Start with a small amount of herbs and spices and adjust to taste.”

A sprinkle of dried oregano, a handful of fresh parsley, or a touch of dill can elevate tuna, leaving you excited for your lunch.

For a Mediterranean-inspired twist, mix tuna with chopped fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon.

The herb's sweetness balances out the saltiness of the fish and brings out subtle flavours that are otherwise lost.

Alternatively, you can add chopped coriander or even chilli flakes if you fancy making your tuna spicy.

Even a basic tuna sandwich can benefit, popular additions are chives and a little bit of mustard.

Many fresh herbs, like parsley and basil, are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

They’re a smart addition to your diet and an easy way to make a quick meal feel more luxurious.

On her blog, Hangry Hannah says: “Most people tend to use the same old ingredients in their tuna salad, such as mayonnaise, celery, and onions.

“While these ingredients are classic, adding herbs and spices can elevate your tuna salad to a whole new level.”

Next time you have tuna at home, don’t forget to add in some herbs or spices to make your meal even tastier.
