    Try Italian or Ceviche style. Skinnytaste tuna ceviche is really good! I really like tuna mixed with tomato and Italian flavors too. Very good!

    Light mayo is ok in moderation, mix with tuna or chicken and dill relish for very easy tuna or chicken salad...then add your fancy (nuts, raisins) or eat plain. Pretty good!

    You can use a bit of olive oil or use less mayo. The all of oil is not that bad as long as it's good olive oil. Are usually add a little bit of lemon to mine whether it's mayonnaise or all of oil I switch back-and-forth between the two.

    Sour cream or Greek yogurt. It will take some salt and pepper though.

    Also, my grandmother taught me about adding chopped apple instead of celery. I still do that. It's really good.

    i'll use real mayo most often in a 50/50 ratio with light cream cheese and some lemon juice, tarragon, garlic salt and white pepper. it's not going to kill me, but if you're wanting to avoid real mayo, you can whip up a vegan one that is tofu based pretty easily.

    I make my own mayo, which I think is tastier and healthier. It's not the lowest-calorie idea ever but I find that because it's so flavorful, a small amout goes a long way.

    * 1 egg
    * 1 tbsp lemon juice
    * 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    * 1 cup light olive oil (it has to be light olive oil or the flavor is bitter and not yummy)
    * Dashes of salt and pepper

    I put everything except the light olive oil in a wide-mouth mason jar and blend it with an immersion blender. Then I slowly add the light olive oil, while continuing to blend. The entire process takes maybe 1 minute. I'm sure a regular blender would work as well, just add the light olive oil last.

    Malt vinegar and a bunch of tiny chopped veggies like carrot, onion and bell pepper.

    Philidelphia light cheese, mixed up with tuna is really tasty. The mini pots are only 53 calories.

    For one packet of tuna, try a 1/2 container of single serve guacamole. Plenty to moisten it for a sandwich

    I can second the Dijon. Really good. If you want to avoid mayo but are ok with Paleo type substitutes then I have used Tessamae's ranch and that is tasty.

    Not quite tuna salad but sometimes I throw in franks red hot. Delicious.
