    I don't really like mayo or onions, so I usually do:
    1 can tuna
    1 stalk celery or half a pepper
    1 tbsp caesar salad dressing
    2 tbsp mild salsa

    Put it on bread and melt some cheese on top. But if you have enough calories, you should make it whatever way you like it.

    "Wonderful Tuna Salad" from _Eat Up, Slim Down_ cookbook by Prevention:

    12 oz tuna in water, drained
    1/3cup plain, fat free yogurt
    4 oz drained, crushed pineapple
    1 celery stalk, chopped fine
    1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
    1/4 cup pecans, chopped
    1 teaspoon yellow mustard
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    mix all together
    makes a nice grilled sandwich on a crusty bread...I like it on La Brea's walnut/raisin bread

    I use store brand(any store) chunk light tuna. It tastes much better and is chunkier than the name brands. AND it is almost always lower in calories and sodium. I put 1-2 tbsp of real mayo (haven't switched to light mayo yet because I have been trying to finish off my HUGE jar), 1/8ish cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1-2tbsp of Wildtree Scampi Blend. Then I put it in a 1/2 pocket of Kangaroo Honey Whea Pita Pocket Bread with as much spinach as I can fit into it. Give me a very yummy and filling lunch for about 316 calories.

    Try using Tzatziki instead of mayo. I use Cedar's brand.

    This totally made me want tuna! So I had some! I used 2tbs Sandwich Spread by Kraft, 1/8 c of reduced fat sharp shreeded cheese. A sprinkle freeze dried cilantro and that was all. Usually I add some onion powder or relish... and then I ate it on ritz crackers.

    I just put the tuna on the bread. If you like tuna and you like bread, I don't see the problem. I don't think most people actually like the taste of food. They prefer the taste of fat.

    1.) Open can of tuna
    2.) Grab spoon from sink - no need to wash, it's probably fine.
    3.) Shove tuna into mouth and chew until it is all gone

    It's ok to cheat and chase with some water.

    I actually use apples for crunch and flavor. Greek yogurt and light mayo both hold it together nicely.

    I turn my tin of tuna into tuna salad with 0% plain Greek yogurt, spicy pumpkin seeds, ½ cup cooked quinoa, Mrs Dash's no-salt lemon pepper seasoning and black pepper. Slap on a slice of Swiss cheese for even more protein and roll everything up in a low-carb tortilla. Eat and feel like a champion.

    I do a can of tuna (white albacore not that minced bits stuff) with a TBSP of light mayo, yellow mustard, chopped pickles and salt and pepper. If I'm out of mayo I do lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. I love tangy tuna salad!

    There is also a brand of tuna preseasoned with lemon pepper that I love just straight out of the can on TJ's pita crackers or flatbread crackers. Yum!

    Make it like ceviche. Add lemon, cilantro, onions, tomatoes and salt. If you like it to have a little kick chop jalapenos.

    subbing out the mayo for cottage cheese is good too... doesn't even need bread.
