any ideas for a substitute for mayo in tuna fish sandwich?!?

greeneyed84

I always use 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1 tuna pouch in water, 1 tbsp mayo, 2 tsp mustard, some pepper & paprika. Low calorie this way... Around 340 depending on the bread you use

Helman's Light tastes way better than the fat free, & is still much lower in calories than regular Helman's.

I eat my tuna rolled up on lettuce also, saves calories and unwanted carbs from bread

I'm going to try the Greek yogurt.

I use any kind of mustard, and add some seasonings (dill, red pepper flakes, garlic...). You could always try using less mayo and adding another ingredient (ex: mayo/mustard mix)

I love dijonnaise... it's creamy dijon mustard... It's really good on tuna sandwiches... and it's very low calories ... 5 calories per serving

I LOVE the StarKist Tuna Salad Sandwich ready pouches. They are actually made with soy oil, have some water chestnuts in there for a little crunchy and are only 90 calories a pouch, and it's a LOT. A little pricier than making it myself but totally worth it. I keep a couple in my desk at work all the time.

Sour cream works for me. Spice it up with chopped onions and celery, and add a little relish. Mmmm,mmmm, good!

I use a combination of light mayo, dijon mustard and relish. For a full can of tuna, I use a tbs of light mayo, and a tsp of each mustard and relish.

I have also used a combo of light mayo and Laughing cow light garlic and herb

I have a favorite tuna salad. It's spicy. It's called My Favorite Tuna Salad. You can also substitute canned salmon.

1 can tuna or salmon, drained
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 tbsp. pickle relish
1 tsp. horseradish
salt and pepper to taste.

Mix it together and enjoy.

I put it over mixed greens with tomato, stuff it inside a pita, pile it on whole wheat Middle Eastern flatbread, or just eat it plain. It's good.

Hellman's mayonaisse dressing is 15 calories per serving. You can not tell a difference at all.

I use Hellman's Low Fat Mayo with StarKist Chunk Light Tuna, 1tbsp of mayo is only 15 calories and 10 from fat. I use just 2 TBSP per can of tuna (5 oz) Keep the calorie count at 130 and 40 fat. Get some lettuce or spinach with either a low carb wheat tortilla and you can have 2 tortillas, 2 leafs of romaine lettuce and half of can of tuna and you get (100 [tuna] +15 [mayo] +2 [lettuce] +80 [wheat tortilla]) = 197 calories per roll. Add some onions or peppers and you are still at around 205 per roll.

If you want less calories, well, do the same for the tuna + mayo, and use your romaine lettuce as your wrapper and you'll end up with a whapping 117 calories. You can eat about 3 or 4 of this and you end up with 236 calories total of very healthy eating and will keep you filled for hours.

I do this on Saturday's when I am home and the fridge is just steps away. Keep the tuna made and the lettuce ready; if hungry, make one, instead of going for anything else. It is more filling that a 80 calorie yogurt and last much longer.

Good luck!

I love a little kick....I have used the juice from my jarred jalepenos LOL. just enough to add moisture and a KICK.

I am thesame one though that buys the RESERAUNT sized jars of Jalepenos LOL. (Ya know the jar as big as the giant pickle jarss?!)

I've been adding chopped avocado- it's creamy and is full of good fat.

Wow that sounds great! Never thought of adding avocado!!

1tbsp of avocado is 25 calories.. and all good calories.. yum yum..

healthyjen342

Man, these are FABULOUS suggestions!! I have used:

Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges (fantastic)
Avocado (fantastic)
Dijonaise (made by hellmans and fantastic)

PLAIN!..(thats right, I said it..Tuna Fish..PLAIN..I didnt know how great it was by itself!) I have just put Tuna on the bread with a little mustard on top and voila! DELICIOUS!

I liked the Salsa idea..i'm going to try that!

asilva3111

Also remember all the processed junk they have to put in those pouches so it doesn't go bad on the shelf. It makes your body work very hard to get rid of those processed foods.

Take a can of StarKist Chunk Light tuna in water, 2 tbps of Mayo Low Fat Mayo and you have 230 calories total. Add wheat bread (typical 40-80 calories a slice), romaine lettuce (2 calories a leaf), or a low carb soft tortilla (60-80 calories) and it is healthier than eating the pre-made pouch.

just saying..

defygravity531

Ok, this is weird (to me because I don't eat fish) but my mom mixes her tuna with nothing but mild salsa. ...try it if you dare, lol.

tiffanymariebrock

low fat cream cheese! so good and yummy!

mbnharrison

I use tzatziki in my tuna. It has more flavor and over all I find better for you. Don't go over board when mixing though!

i use greek yogart (plain) with some yellow mustard, I put garlic and dill seeds in it, I used to eat it with dill pickles sliced up but this way you still get that dill taste with out all the salt. \

ALso you might want to try egg salad. 4 hard boiled eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and a pinch of salt. Choped up onions< two large tablespoons of plain greek yogurt, a large tablespoon yellow mustard. a tiny teaspoon if mayo. ---chop up eggs small and mix it all together and it is super yummy. Toast some whole wheat bread and add a piece of lettuce and you are set to go. This makes enough for about four sandwiches.

One thing this thread has managed to do....make me want tuna fish!! I can't wait to try some of the suggestions I've read. To be honest, many of them sound gross, but I'm sure many people think adding mayo/miracle whip to tuna sounds gross too. I love trying new things and I am going to try some of these very soon.

Kelleyrh5

I would use lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and eat with wheat crackers. Yummy!

tjradd73

i would say the easiest would be fat free miracle whip....WAY less cals!

rbabich1

I use sour cream as well! You only need a small amount, and with a little dill and onion, it is quite tasty!

tanyaMax

Hummus perhaps. Never tried it, but sounds like it could be good

Crystal817

I use a tablespoon of light mayo, couple tablespoons of dijon mustard and some dill relish.

ohmissemily

miricle whip LITE. its the bestttttt been eating it like that for yrs. dont even need a lot so thats a plus:)
