    Not to be difficult, but have you considered switching to canned sardines instead? A lot more flavor and not dry like tuna is. No mayo needed. They often comes in lovely flavors, like smoked in olive oil and lemon. And you get a ton of omega 3 with them.

    Try a salad dressing. Poppyseed dressing tastes good with it to me.

    I don't like canned tuna but I put umeboshi vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper with broccoli slaw and cut up roasted chicken and it's great.

    I put plain yogurt, diced dill pickle, a little pickle juice out of the jar, black pepper and dried dill weed. Sometimes I will put green onions instead of the pickle. I always buy the solid white tuna, it's just better. :smiley:

    I throw it on top of a nice salad with balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil.

    Due to food allergies, I use Sour Cream, Dill Pickle Relish, a little mustard, salt and pepper.

    Real men drink coffee black and eat tuna plain.

    So does this real woman - the tuna, I mean. Coffee may or may not have half and half, but usually does.

    This is awesome in my view and comes in a 'man ready' pop a top can. It works well with my macro.

    I have no problem eating tuna straight out of the can with no mayo. However, my macros allow it, and solid white albacore is a lot harder to go down without it compared to the Chunk Light........and I prefer the albacore as it has half the sodium and 1/3 more protein.

    If you're looking for that creaminess use cottage cheese or laughing cow cheese (mash it to cream it before adding tuna). I also add various chopped veg like onion, peppers - sweet or hot, cucumber, fresh spinach, pickles, etc. Add in some herbs.

    Laughing Cow cheese: wonderful. Far better than Dairylea in my opinion. Even my hubby who wasn't really into things like this will eat them. In fact I will reach for the box in the fridge to find just one left. My favourite is the blue cheese one. Not overpowering at all.

    I like to add a dollop of plain yogurt, a dash (or two) of curry powder, and some chopped green apple.

    I LOVE THIS ONE. budgetbytes.com/2012/10/tuna-white-bean-salad/

    Budget Bytes is literally my favorite. Everything I've ever made using this site is super delicious and so easy. My husband makes this tuna salad at least once a week. Try it with the green onion. Delish.

    I've always had tuna without mayo, and only learned people use mayo with it on the internet. Tuna, olive oil, capers, a diced tomato, a diced dill pickle, lemon juice, a pressed clove of garlic, dill weed and viola. If you like mayo you can make mock mayo with greek yogurt and vinegar. Not the real thing, but acceptable in a calorie pinch.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks tuna with mayo is unusual... I think it's one of those US things!

    I love tuna/avocado sandwiches - Sirena chilli tuna, mashed up avocado, splash of lemon juice and black pepper. On grainy/seedy bread. Yum!

    I have a can of tuna in my lunch salad with some zesty Italian dressing. The dressing & tuna work well together.
