Carrots, mushrooms, onions, cooked rice, and feta cheese or mozarella cheese mixed and cooled in frigde, and flavored with salt and Italian type seasonings could be a mediterranean type rice salad. You could also add the tuna &/or tomatoes, drained well and dried between paper towels or a kitchen towel, for more of a main dish type of meal.
You could change it up by subbing pasta for the rice, and serving it hot.
You have given me alot of great ideas to avoid some trips to the grocery!

You have a pretty good base for quiet a few different combinations . Do what I have done-look at your list and combine to make different combinations.
carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, canned tomatoes, canned cream mushrooms, sweet corn. chives, parsley, basil, dried herbs, pasta or and rice - soup
tuna, onion, mushroom, mozzarella cheese, parsley & pasta=tuna casserole
tuna + flour + spices+ egg=tuna cake if don't have an egg search for some mayonnaise, cook rice & veg (carrot, onion & mushroom) separate and serve with cake.

Do you have any meat available, other than the ham and tuna? If not, you could make spaghetti or something similar. I sometimes spray a casserole dish, and make spaghetti sauce and layer it with pasta and cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Is cheap, good and goes great with a salad. Or, you could make a scalloped ham and potato casserole. Slice or shred your potatoes and mix with cheese, onions, cubed or shredded ham, cream of mushroom, salt/pepper, etc. and bake at 350 for about an hour.
I would just get creative if it was me. When I have a strange mix of stuff in the cabinets, I tell my husband I am going in the kitchen "to pull a rabbit outta my hat" and he knows by that, that there is no telling what kind of dinner we will be having. It's kinda fun to see what you can come up with and it usually turns out pretty good. Don't be afraid to experiment.
Good luck. Hope this helps. :)
