    I use fat free ranch dressing. Gives the tuna a really good taste. Not too much tho, because of the calores, just enough to get the tuna moistened well.

    Last time I ate tuna I mixed up some cottage cheese and a little salsa in the tuna , it was very tasty.

    Try some DILL pickle relish. I used to always add Miracle Whip, but like it without now.

    I just tried the Nonfat Greek Yogurt today. I added some garlic powder, black pepper and a little bit of No Cal Dijon, Really smooth and creamy. The yogurt makes the tuna taste very light compared to mayo.

    brown mustard - sounds gross, but you eat it on a triscuit and it is YUM.

    Horseraddish!!!! You can use a prepared horseraddish sauce, has less calories than even light mayo, or use a little light mayo, and add straight horseraddish if you like it hot!!! I do. You can also substitute the mayo for any light sour cream, ranch, greek yogurt, etc,

    I have a totally different suggestion and its the only way I eat my tuna... lemon zest and juice, chilli flakes, parsley and crumble in low fat feta cheese... so good!

    mustard and a spoon full of rellish... if you have to go mayo, read the labes...the light stuff is often not as healthy as you may think... The oilve oil mayo could be a good last option.

    My husband can't STAND mayo or anything else with that texture, so no sour cream, yogurt, miracle whip, etc., so here are some of my tuna salad variations:

    Tuna & Hummus


    Tuna & flash-sauteed & pureed eggplant

    Tuna, finely minced celery & onion, basalmic vinegar

    Tuna slaw-- tuna, cabbage, apple vinegar and a touch of sugar [think vinegar slaw with tuna added]

    Try Nayonaise! It's the vegan mayo. You can find in health food stores. It looks a bit different, but it tastes the same.
