    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.

    I usually eat tuna out of the can for a change rather then a protein shake. But if im making a tuna sandwich I always use mustard , if your counting calories and being picky best thing you can do is learn to love mustard. .

    non-dairy variants for summertime? dash of EVOO, splash of lemon juice/zest, herbs of choice, minced veg of choice (celery, onion [red, white, scallion, shallot, ...], sweet peppers, cherry/grape tomatoes, etc., S&P, perhaps a little kick with spice (cayenne, red pepper flakes, chili sauce), etc.

    I eat tuna salad at least 2x a week. Like I'm addicted. I use Duke's Light Mayo w/ Olive Oil (I'm a Southerner...it's gotta be Dukes). Maybe you could try greek yogurt? I like my tuna salad tangy so I use a lot of dill, too.
