    This is my favorite non-mayo tuna recipe - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mediterranean_tuna_antipasto_salad_for_two.html I use chickpeas, decrease the olive oil and use chopped kalamata olives instead of capers because I don't like them. Works on it's own or in a whole wheat pita!

    I'm making that tomorrow!

    I've made tuna salad with plain nonfat yogurt instead of mayo. It's a little weird since its sweeter and it works much better to make chicken salad. Try using plain nonfat greek yogurt since it has a tangy taste to it. I like eating tuna salad on lettuce instead of bread also.

    I eat it plain out of the can. My favorite is the sweet and spicy tuna on a salad. Very yummy.

    I generally eat it out of the can, plain. I also really like canned Salmon, you can get it in cans the same size as the tuna fish.
    I like to have a singe whole wheat tortilla along side my tuna or salmon.

    I mix with fresh tomatoes! I also like to add the convenience pack of tuna to a side salad from McDonald's and add 1 pouch of lowfat Italian. Makes for a lite lunch during the day when I don't have time to pack a lunch for work!

    I had to figure this out recently too!
    I have found that one can of tuna with about 1 tbsp relish, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 or 2 squirts of lemon juice, and a pinch of tarragon (if you like) is quite good. I didn't think I'd be able to get used to tuna without mayo but it works! i hope you find something you enjoy!

    Go on to Peta's web site and reasearch the egg industry. There are numerous videos of the most disgusting and viscious attacks against animals that you can imagine. Every baby chicken that comes down the conveyor belt that isn't female gets thrown into a grinder alive. You'll never eat eggs again, which will cut out your mayo.
    You could try an advocado or Vegannaise, or organic low fat yogurt.

    I make little tuna balls (like meatballs) - mixed with an egg and a bit of breadcrumbs and seasoning.
    You can also make patties or a loaf.
    Works for canned salmon too!

    I like to cut up pears, cucumbers, and or tomatoes and mix in. Then I put it in a spinich wrap.

    Make a tuna salad with celery (onion optional) and then light balsamic vinaigrette. Serve in a wrap with lettuce and tomato. Freakin delectable.
