    This is the best tuna salad recipe I've found. I admit, I change the proportions for my taste. I am not a fan of mayo.

    Edited to add: if not avocado or hummus as @shinycrazy said, try plain greek yogurt in whatever recipe you currently have. It's what I put in chicken salad.

    but it's...... I got nothing. I just found avocado and tuna are my favorite thing and I can skip the mayo. Hmm.... Hummus perhaps. artichoke hearts... Hope you find something yummy!

    I just mix the tuna with some Miracle Whip, some mustard and relish. Or get the flavored tuna in a pouch.

    I don't make sandwiches because I prefer to eat my tuna in salads, but here's my recipe for spicy asian satay tuna:

    * 1 small can (or single-serve pouch) tuna (I don't drain if I'm going to use it in a salad, but you might want to if it's for sandwiches)
    * 1 heaping tbsp Swad Garlic & Ginger Paste
    * 1 tbsp Ponzu sauce
    * 1 tbsp Pb2 peanut butter powder
    * 100 grams (about 2 stalks) very finely chopped celery
    * dash of cayenne pepper

    I would add the above to about 300 grams of mixed greens (often napa cabbage, baby spinach and broccoli slaw mix), but my hubs will eat it with crackers.

    I make mine this way
    Tuna
    Light Hellman's
    Hard boiled egg whites
    Pickles
    Little pepper

    Sometimes I put it on bread, other times I have used crackers crumbled on top or more in the summer I have stuffed my tuna mix in a tomato.

    I put carrots, celery, and onions in a food processor so they are uniformly in little bits. Then hand mix in tuna, mustard, mayo, salt, pepper. Love it. It's mostly veggies.

    I love a hard boiled egg mashed up with it. The usual additions of onion, celery and mayo :) I adore tuna and avocado and onion and stir cheese into it and spread it on chia toast and broil for a tuna melty.

    1/2 c. celery
    1/4 c. shredded carrots

    I like to eat this on half of a Pita thin :)

    I usually do 1 tbs lite hellmans (it's only 35 calories and is the most acceptable of the lite mayos), a little bit of pickle juice and some old bay. Yes, I like it salty. Even been known to eat it on saltines.

    I like to add lots of veggies to my tuna salad.
    • Tuna
    • Finely chopped veggies (onion, garlic, broccoli and/or asparagus or shredded brussel sprouts, cucumber, romaine, tomato, dill pickle)
    • Sometimes I'll add some chopped walnuts or pecans, pepita or sunflower seeds, and/or raisins
    • Add salt, pepper and mayo (or tzitziki or plain greek yogurt) to taste.

    Usually I just keep it simple:
    Mayo, pickles or relish, salt
    Mayo, wasabi

    I like tuna, mayonnaise, a scant tablespoon of finely chopped onions, chopped capers, parsley, lemon zest, black pepper. Very nice in a tuna melt, too.

    Just a tip I use hummus instead of mayo when I make my tuna now. Tastes just as good.
