Hey MFP Hivemind! I've only ever made tuna with mayo, but I'm looking for healthy alternatives. Anyone make theirs with something other then mayo?

    Avocado and mustard. But I love mustard.

    Avocado is a good substitute for mayo in just about anything.

    Greek yogurt instead of mayo for literally everything! Its excellent!
    Greek yogurt is also a good sub for sour cream too.

    I recently started using full fat greek yogurt too instead of the no fat kind. Its more filling & creamy.
    Fat isn't the enemy - sugar is.

    Plain yogurt isn't bad- It actually makes canned tuna taste fresher (to my tastebuds, but I also really like yogurt).
    I've also tried it with lemon juice & some seasonings (w/wo a little olive oil & vinegar).

    Same here. Use cottage cheese, put in a little salt and a lot of pepper, throw in some capers and slice up a few black olives.

    I make tuna salad with light mayo, chopped hardboiled eggs, dill relish, and finely diced onion (and salt and pepper to taste). It's fantastic and quite low calorie.

    I'm generally not a fan of light mayo, but I can't tell when it's in the tuna salad and it drastically reduces the amount of calories. I've tried Greek yogurt in it, but it just wasn't the same (and I love Greek yogurt).

    I have made several of these and love them, especially the body building tuna salad and bacon tuna melt.

    I usually eat it either plain or on a sammich using margarine. I tried using Greek yogurt, but my brain would not get out of the "mayonnaise is gross" mindset. I've also used oil and balsamic reductions.

    I don't like mayo unless made fresh from scratch, but I like sriracha or Frank's Red Hot mixed in my tuna.

    I sometimes use mustard too, especially if it's going to be a tuna melt and I do a can of tuna, lots of diced celery or cucumber, bell pepper, green onion, and carrot, then add mustard and mix it up, then throw that all on a piece of naan or whatever, top with a little shredded cheese and stick it in the toaster oven. Then it gets a big drizzle of sriracha after it's melted. My husband thinks it looks repulsive but it tastes great and it's got all the crunchy veg and acidity from the mustard.
