    I really like mixing White Tuna with non-fat cottage cheese and a chopped shallot :P

    Lemon juice, lemon zest, a touch of olive oil, chopped celery, relish, and--if you want a kick--chopped pickled jalapeno. Serve on light rye flatbread and top with chopped tomato or paprika or both.

    This will make for absolutely killer breath, but I typically eat my tuna with olive oil (barely a tsp tbh), chopped raw onions and chopped raw garlic. Occasionally with some tomatoes and mushrooms.

    Not overly creamy though.

    I definitely need to try the Greek Yogurt option like everyone says. I bought some Fage Plain Greek Yogurt and would like to try it out. How much do you put into a regular 6-7oz can of tuna, and how long does it stay if you don't eat it all at once?

    I use sour cream. Either the Trader Joe's low fat one or the Lilly Light Sour Cream. the TJ's one has 15 calories per 30g (two tablespoons) and Lilly's has 33 calories per 30g. Both are all natural but the Lilly's tastes better. :)

    And then I mix in sriracha and sometimes about 1oz of avocado.

    For a regular can of tuna, I start with around 2 teaspoons and up it from there depending on what I put with it.
    If I'm doing the buffalo tuna, I'll use 1 teaspoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon franks, and adjust from there.

    I pour a bit of Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch dressing (lite) over it and it's delish!

    Mustard...not the yellow kind, either honey mustard or grey pupon.

    I second this one!

    I love adding apples and jalepeno to tuna, with just enough light olive oil mayo to keep it together. I know it sounds weird, but try it, it's really good. I like putting it on a toasted cinnamon raisin or corn english muffin.
