    I get the tuna in olive oil and strain it. Then I mix it in with one of those 'steamer' bags of whole green beans or one of the veggie mixes for a quick, hot, and cheap lunch.

    I can't do it w/o mayo. So I use Hellmans 1Tbsp Low-fat Mayo and 1 Tbsp pickle relish

    I mix my tuna with Pico de Gallo (garlic, tomatoes, onion, cliantro, jalapenos with lemon and seasoning )- really tasty!

    My favourite sandwich shop does mexican tuna filler. It's got mayo in it but I'm sure it's just as good without.......
    Tuna, kidney beans, finely chopped celery, chilli and spring onion. Maybe add a tiny bit of olive oil or a vinegarette if you need more moisture. It's gorgeous though :-)

    Mmm Great suggestions I have been eating tuna and mixed peppers with Philadelphia light wrapped in salted lettuce leaves. Some of these suggestions sound amazing. Dinner tonight! :)

    I've used light Catalina salad dressing in place of mayonnaise before; liked it a lot.

    I use light mayo (helmans-35 cal per serving) and very little of it (just enough to have it stick together). It's how I've always eaten tuna and tastes good to me!

    me too...and I mix up chopped pickles, chopped red onion, chopped lettuce (or actually fresh spinach is great), and such a small small amount of helmans light - not even a whole serving. Since the other ingredients are "wet" - it all seems to stick together.
    It was my husband's secret recipe (WAS as I have shared it many times now)....o, and pepper, lots of pepper....

    Some things should never go without mayo. I don't think I could completely eliminate mayo from my diet. In moderation, what's the big deal?

    I so agree, I do not light to exclude anything - and I also like to use real butter while cooking (not tuna fish obviously). You need it to balance.

    Sriracha Tuna
    2 cans tuna in water, drained
    1/2 cup Greek yogurt ( I use either Fage or Chobani)
    5 tsp Sriracha (little more, little less; to taste pretty much)

    Mix all well. I either make my sandwich with Ezekiel break or romaine lettuce depending on my intake for the day.

    You can also try Avocado mixed with it. You can substitue anything with Mayo with Avocado, like deviled eggs also. It has alot of nutritional value including Vitamin E, The B-Vitamins, and Folic Acid!!!

    usually i add a bit of salad dressing to it, or olive oil and seasonings, then stick in in a food processor to create a tuna salad without the mayo
