I LOVE tuna, but I don't want to eat mayonaise anymore, not even the low-fat kind. What sorts of things do you do to make plain tuna more tasty?

    Use light sour cream instead! We love to have tuna w/ light sour cream + white vinegar + ground black pepper!
    Add a cucumber and tomato and you have a salad!

    I used miso dressing last time. It was actually pretty good with a little sweet pickle relish.

    I've mixed it with a nice spicy brown mustard to give it a little kick...

    Laughing Cow cheese is actually really good as a mayo subsitute in tuna salad. Just let it come up to room temp and then it mixes in nicely.

    I buy the bumble bee tuna sensations, they are flavored so you dont have to put anything in them and only about 110 cals per can. You can eat it with spinach alone with out dressing cause the tuna has so much flavor.

    Try Greek yogurt and/or Vegenaise. You could mix the two together or use them separately.

    Relish is great with tuna. I've been eating a tuna to go pack that comes with relish and it is great.

    Try it mexican style! I use:
    2 cans of canned starkist tuna, drained
    1 roma tomato chopped
    1/8 cup of finely chopped onion
    1 whole lime, juiced
    1/8 cup cilantro, chopped
    adobo seasoning to taste or salt/ pepper


    I usually customize the tomato, onion, cilantro, lime and adobo, to taste. This is general measuring of ingredients.

    I do egg white and tuna omelets. The suggestions sound great though, and I might try some!
