    yep, i mix a tin with chopped spinach, pepper, tomato and onion and add about 50 cals worth of dressing to bind it all together. Nice on a sandwich too.

    Use a wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese instead of mayo... I add a little mustard, lemon juice, cracked black pepper and capers too... yum!

    I use a small can packed in oil and dump the whole lot of it over some cut up tomatoes...thinly slice some red onion and add a couple kalamata olives, salt and pepper to taste! This is a Portuguese summer dish that I got from the in-laws and just love!!!
  • This is going to be obscure but I thought nothing could replace the goodness of mayo, eggs, etc until I trying putting this mixture called CHOW CHOW (Southern folks like it on their greens, similar to hamburger relish). I use the spicy version and it REALLY gives the tuna a nice kick without lots of sodium or calories, plus youre adding veggies..........

    use low sodium Starkiss tuna and substitute plain Chobani yogurt and a little dijon mustard for mayo. add whatever veggies you would normally put in... onion, celery, etc and eat on lettuce leaves or low carb tortillas instead of regular bread. :smile:

    This week I made mine with fresh chopped flat leaf (Italian) parsley, fresh chopped basil, cracked pepper, diced red onion, a tablespoon of chopped capers, and some chives. I mixed with a little Hellman's light mayo with olive oil - probably about a tablespoon.

    Will have to try the Chow Chow version next week!
