So I'm thinking if I puree a little bit of avocado and use the plain greek yogurt I have and mix it with tuna, it will be good? What do you think?

    haha well I've heard the yogurt and avocado can both replace mayo so I figured if I blended them it wouldnt be so bland because the yogurt is very tart.

    OK I actually think it would be good. I use yoghurt to replace mayo in some things, so I don't know why this wouldn't work as well. Also the avacodo would be nice in it I think.

    I often use sour cream to replace mayo. Lower calories, and super tasty :)

    I saw a recipe similar to this on Dr. Oz. I think I will try it.

    I say give it a try. Personally, I wouldn't ever eat yogurt and tuna, haha. I'd just buy low fat mayo instead. I love avocados though (if they weren't so fattening, I think I'd have like 3 every day. :P) But, definitely give it a try if you think it'll work together. Maybe just take a bite of the yogurt, avocado, and tuna before you mix everything.

    Add some salt and pepper and some finely diced spanish onion and Yummo! I have this often. Sometimes I use low fat ricotta instead of the greek yoghurt. Very Tasty.

    mmm...avacodo...i've mixed avacodo and mayo before and it was good. I usually have a piece of rye or pumpernickel toast with half a teaspoon of mayo and a slice of american cheese, but the other day I did use yogurt instead (5 grams of fat for half a tsp is just crazy!) TODAY however, I used a wedge of laughing cow lowfat garlic &herb cheese. Its SO good and way more flavorful than most things that i put on my bread : )
