    I replace mayonnaise with low fat sour cream, works great! Tuna, chicken, turkey, burgers, anything you would use normally have used mayo in.

    I realize that doesn't help you right now, but for future sandwiches:flowerforyou:

    Also, I use the olive oil Mayo for tuna which is healthier

    I use celery and add a few sprays of wishbones salad spritzer (italian). Only 1 calorie per spray.

    I'm kinda curious because I just thought of this but have not tried it. What does everybody think of laughing cow cheese mixed with tuna? Think it would be good? I mean, it's cheese and tuna how could it not right? I want tuna now! I love tuna with egg whites!

    Nothing comes to mind with the ingredients you have on-hand, but I use hummus to make tuna salad. Sometimes I add some avocado or light mayonnaise if I feel like it, but hummus is a great low-cal high-protein healthy alternative. A love to make it with spinach and artichoke hummus especially! Mmmm.

    My girls like it with thousand island dressing. I usually just throw some tomatoes in there and a little olive oil

    I have also put a little relish in before. Yum.

    I use a bodybuilding fitness meal prep book and I use a simple method that tastes great. Get some fat free sour cream. Use that in place of mayo. Tastes great. You'll not be able to tell the difference. I do use mayo with olive oil in it - fat free. I don't think a little of it hurts. But I also use the sour cream. You can use that and fat free yogurt in place of lots of condiments.

    I'm happy to share my very unique recipe, though many folks think its yucky. I add about a teaspoon of light mayo, a spoonfull of capers, a dash of lemon juice and about a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. I guess this is a more savory recipe than others. I love it.

    I dont eat meat or seafood, but when I did, I never liked using mayo.. Wayyyyy too many calories and wayyyy too much fat for not alot of flavor..

    I use sea salt, cracked black pepper, granulated onion and garlic and salt free seasoning.. SO YUMMY

    I use my favorite hot peppers, chop them up, add them to the tuna with 2 TBS plain yogurt.

    Holy cow how could I forget hummus? I actually make hard boiled eggs, throw away the yolk or use very little of it, then mix in a can of tuna, a couple table spoons of hummus and spoon the mixture into the boiled egg white. They are a hit at parties.

    I use Low fat Salad Cream instead to add some taste or use vinegar and add diced cucumber and/or some low fat cheese crumbled up.

    you could so the olive oil and herbs... otherwise, tuna without mayo is pretty good mixed with salsa... if you have any :) Or pico de galo or whatever that's called. lol.

    Mustard works well. You can try stuffing the tuna with the mustard in a shelled out tomato or a bell pepper, super yummy!
