Substitution for mayo in tuna?

I tried the hummus suggestion today.....deLISHus!!

I like to pickles in my tuna too & I use lemon juice & black pepper with it. Sometimes when I want it to feel more like the tuna my mom used to make I still use a very small amount of mayo but when you mix it with the lemon juice it thins out and goes much further but with all the taste! Sometimes if i have some of the small tomatoes around I cut those in halves or quarters and throw them in just for a different mix.

I tried the tuna and cottage cheese thing last night-- mixed one part tuna, one part cottage cheese, and served it as a sandwich on toasted multigrain bread. It was AWESOME for less than 300 calories, and I didn't anticipate how filling it would be-- protein bomb for sure! I actually ended up way below my calorie goal for the day yesterday because I just plain didn't feel like I had any room left after eating that sandwich!

I have a new pre-hiking food now, hah. =D

I've mixed my tuna with cottage cheese! Sounds kind of gross but its good. And is quite filling. Not sure about the pickles though.

Let me know if you try it and what u think!

Good luck!

WIN! Protein bomb! :P

Yes! I want to try this.

Yay....I'm glad some of you tried the tuna and cottage cheese! I was right huh? Yummy!

bump!

I use miracle whip with my tuna, much lower calorie than mayo and I like the taste too. Yes it has a little sugar in it, but not enough to matter.

I was going to say that too!!!

Here in in Aus we have a pickle/gerkin cottage cheese so would be ok

130g tuna
1tbs olive oil
juice from half lemon
2tbs fresh chopped dill
1 small red hot chilli pepper or tabasco habanero
1 garlic clove if you have no plans for that day lol

I make lemon pepper tuna because I'm obsessed with those Bumble Bee Sensations Lemon Pepper, but they're like over $1 more! I simply read the back of the Sensations label one time and here's the recipe diet-i-fied:

Drain the tuna
Empty it into a resealable container
add salt free lemon pepper seasoning
add 1/4 packet Herb Ox Chicken Flavored Sodium Free Bouillon Instant Packet
add lemon juice (1 tsp should do it per can)

mix together with a fork, chill for an hour plus (I just throw it in my lunchbag and ice it when I get to work for a few hours)

Serve with crackers, put on salad, whatever. It RULES.

Not sure if this was mentioned.....my mom uses wasabe in hers and she LOVES it!

It's about 5 cal for each tsp.

Hope that helps

I use lemon juice - sometimes add a tiny drop of mayo
