    Excellent suggestion! Not enough people know about this one. To add a bit of zing, I like to add a tablespoon or two of salsa. And for me, because avocado is hard on my stomach, I use less avocado and add some plain Greek yogurt.

    I generally use Dave's Spicy Relish instead of regular pickle relish in my tuna, gives it a sweet kick and a spicy zing. I may have to try the Greek Yogurt, hadn't thought of that.

    Open can.
    (mostly) Drain tuna.
    Eat tuna.

    Yeah, I guess I'm a little weird that way, but that's how I like my tuna.

    All of these tips sounds so yummy. I'm always so leery about using plain greek yogurt in place of mayo cuz it's so, well, plain but I'm sure I can jazz it up.

    I use a combination of (full-fat) Greek yogurt and olive oil as a mayonnaise substitute in anything like that. It makes it pretty much the same consistency and taste as using mayonnaise, but is a lot healthier. Of course, if you're looking to cut fat or calories, this isn't going to be your solution. But if you're looking to replace bad fats with good fats and add some good nutrition, this is a great way to go.

    (I also add chopped kosher dill pickles, minced red onions, and salt and pepper to my tuna salad. De-LISH!)

    I use vegan mayo and avocado. Then add a little spicy mustard. If I want pickles in it, I skip the avo and just use vegan mayo and mustard.

    Greek yogurt also works. I used that until I discovered vegan mayo. Life changing stuff, I tell ya!

    Agreed.. I almost forgot, when I remember to do it I also add a little Dijon mustard or whatever spicy mustard I have. Avocado by itself is a little bland so when I mash it up I generally add a tiny bit of salt and some black pepper and the Dijon mustard;.

    Why not use mayo? I buy Hellmann's Lighter than Light Mayonnaise, teaspoon 11 cals.

    Almost same, except use pouch and I don't have to drain. Just open and eat.

    My recipe is

    2 cans of tuna (or chicken)
    2-3 avocados
    1 lemon juiced
    Pepper
    1/2 tbsp of dill weed

    It's very tasty

    I make mine by draining, breaking it down into chunks and then mixing in fresh diced tomatoes,
    fresh cut chives (or green onion), and whatever fresh cut veggies sound good.

    I also mix mine with laughing cow cheese. I use the garlic herb flavored wedges and sometimes the spicy pepper jack. I'll have to start adding cucumbers too. That sounds really good.

    I can't ever get those Laughing Cow wedges to smush up properly in the tuna. What's your secret?

    I typically use a fork and smoosh down on the wedge and then mix, I also found keeping a little of the tuna juice in helps.

    I really like my tuna mixed with avocado or cottage cheese and salsa.
