Hey guys I'm not a mayo fan, but I do love mustard. I eat a lot of tuna sandwich for lunch, and I usually mix the tuna with mayo. Well one day I runned out of mayo, so I decided to put mustard instead. I loved it! It tasted better than mayo and it has 0 calories, but is that true? It sounds to good to be true because it tasted sooooo good.

    I eat mustard on my wraps and sammies and dip fries in reg mustard instead of honey mustard too, much healthier :)

    At any given time I have 3-5 different kinds of mustard in my fridge. It's my favorite condiment

    I'll typically put a little mustard in my tuna salad for taste, but mostly use mayo- although, I don't often eat tuna salad. (or mayo in general) I use Hellman's low fat mayo because it's only 15 calories per tablespoon.

    I make my tuna salad with sugarfree pickle relish. Very yummy! No Mayo at all...

    I hate mustard...yuck...but I use cains fat free mayo which is only 15 calories so it's not too bad.

    (relish sounds awesome! I'll have to try that, but WITH the fat free mayo!):laugh:

    If you want a good low-cal marinate ...mix white vinegar, mustard (brown is good), sugar sub and fresh ground pepper (you can add olive oil as well).. put it over a container of canned green beans and sliced red onions.. shake up... refrigerate....makes a good "sweet/spicy" side dish. Mixing mustard with fat free salad dressing or mayo improves it a lot!!

    Actually, some studies on spicy Mustards, have shown to help boost Metabolism as much as 25% for a few hrs.

    I don't eat tuna, but that sounds like a good dressing for other things like mac salad or potato salad too. Gonna try it!! I love vegan mayo, too it has a much more tart flavor than traditional mayo and only 35 cal per serving (1TBSP)

    Are you vegan? If not, the above is great with salmon too :) (trader joes sells canned salmon)

    Not vegan, but lacto ovo vegetarian, so no fish either. I just prefer the taste of vegan mayo to regular.. Also I don't know of any Trader Joe's in NY state and I wish there was cause that store sounds awesome!! We have Wegmans, though which is a VERY well stocked supermarket. They have a great organic produce and natural/vegetarian section in their stores

    I like to take a couple of hard boiled eggs, toss one of the yolks and mash them all up, add a big squirt of mustard and a teaspoon full of low fat mayo and put it on some bread. That makes a yummy lunch.

    I am diggin the mustard.

    :) I don't know what I'd do with out Trader Joe's. LOL I do 90% of my shopping there. Right next door to my Trader Joes is a store called Real Produce. They have only local and mostly organic produce. Love it! I've been to a wegmans before, it seemed to be like a cross between Nob Hill and Whole Foods. Anyway, back to topic :blushing:. I don't eat mayo, but I wonder if I can swap this out and fool my daughter!
