So I'm looking for a substitute for mayo when I make my tuna. I'm not a fan of tuna just by itself. I really don't know how I feel about light mayo or miracle whip. I'm not totally against them, just never have tried them. I welcome all ideas! Thanks so much!

HUMMUS.... this is my lunch EVERYDAY and I love it.
package of tuna, a couple tbsp of roasted red pepper hummus and chopped hardboiled egg whites. Eat with whole wheat pita chips. Looks like cat puke but tastes awesome. The hummus cuts the fishiness.0 -
avacado
avocado
First time I ever had tuna I realized I didn't have any mayo or plain greek. I had an avocado.
Make sure it's pretty soft tho0 -

Having a hubby that doesn't eat Mayo---I have been there.
Mustard (spicy or regular)
Hummus
Olive Oil
Lemon Pepper or other "dry spice"...different texture, but yummy.
Hope you find one that meets your needs!0 -
I like light mayo so I have no problem using it. You could put a little and then barely increase it until you get the consistency you want. I like canned tuna on salad. If you mix it in and add dressing, veggies etc it might not be too "tuna-y" and you'll still get the benefits of eating the tuna.0

lowfat cottage cheese with dill and chives0

I use light miracle whip and don't really see much of a difference. The only problem with it is if you make a big batch, the leftovers can get a little watery. Same thing happens if you use light MW in things like coleslaw or pasta salad - leftovers are more watery than if you use the regular version.0

Okios plain Greek yogurt! tastes just like mayo in tuna!!0
-
tzatziki
I second this!0 -
AVOCADO0

One or more of:
olive oil, garlic powder, chopped purple onion, slice black olives, shredded jack cheese.0 -
I use light mayo, hot sauce, soy sauce, avocado, all those things are good. Light mayo is way better than full fat mayo in my opinion. You can get the light mayo with olive oil and its pretty good too.0

Try Reduced Fat Mayo with Olive Oil and Cracked Pepper. (Kraft, maybe?)
I despise Tuna but my hubby loves this combo.0 -
Reported for crimes against Tuna salad0

I use either a lil vinegar or a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Then I cut up pickles and toss them in too0

Hellmann's Dijonnaise0

This may sound weird, but I put homemade salsa in my tuna instead of mayo. It's SOOO good.
Not weird.. I do this and love it. Splash of tabasco too, why not. lol0 -
personally I find that knorr light mayo tastes as good as regular and use that. it's not that high in calories and you don't need to add that much, you can add a little vinegar and white pepper to make it go further and also give the tuna mayo a bit more flavour without adding more and more mayo. that way it's quite easy to fit tuna mayo into your macros.0

Totally rocks if you can find it!
I use this and plain Greek yogurt.0 -
another alternative is Heinz salad cream.... it's different to mayonnaise, but I really like it, and it's lower in fat than mayonnaise, and you can get low fat varieties that taste almost as good as the full fat ones0

I usually make my tuna with light olive oil mayo and yellow mustard and diced onion and/or chopped boiled egg. A few peas (frozen or canned) is good in tuna salad too, IMO.
My husband makes delicious tuna though with a TINY amount of mayo (like seriously a tsp perhaps), a bit of Worchestershire sauce, chopped celery, onion, and a few chopped nuts (often almonds). It is very different, not creamy but savory and you can really taste the tuna well. It is good!!0 -
