    Fresh cracked pepper and a big squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

    ^ I love this, and I usually add diced jalapenos to mine!

    Other fun additions:
    Avocados, diced tomato, & red onion
    Nonfat plain greek yogurt

    Love these ideas! I usually use a little bit of mayo and lemon juice and pepper. I'm going to try it with just lemon juice and pepper next time! :)

    Love this thread! I like sweet relish and lots of black pepper. Mustard and dill go nice together as well.

    EVOO and balsamic vinegar. Maybe a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt and pepper.

    Italian style--lemon, black pepper, chopped onion and sliced olives. sometimes I put grated carrot too, and celery if I have it. diced bell peppers are good, too, and capers if you have them. Basically any combination of the above ingrediants :-)

    I also like a can of tuna over brown rice with some avocado and soy saue drizzled over, and a little sesame oil, too. And then I cover it in hot sauce (sriracha is great on this!) yum yum, my favorite quick meal.

    I've done the Walden Farms sweet onion dressing which is low cal & low carb. Instead of high sodium relish, I use homemade chow chow!! Chopped boiled egg whites, onions & chopped apples if I have any. YUMMO!! Get those flat outs and roll it up!! YUM!

    Just use mayo, the real stuff, or miracle whip. It's only a tablespoon or two and easily fits into the log. Please note that if you use fat free the fat is replaced with a LOT of sugar.

    Or use mustard.

    Tuna mixed with boiled egg, a little thousand island dressing, and chopped up onion. Delicious!

    I wouldnt be surprised if someone already reccomended this, but I think its simple and tastes really good!

    I mix a drained can of tuna with 2 egg whites (or more if you want little extra protein), add a teaspoon or tablespoon of mustard and a half a tsp of mayo (or less depending on how I feel that day). I finish off with a turn or two of cracked pepper.

    In the summer time, I usually mix all that together with some type of cold elbows or couscous for a macaroni salad w/ chopped sour speared pickles...its very filling!

    I agree on the fat being replaced with sugar...

    I love to add a few slices of Jalapino to my tuna for a kick and some onion...

    don't like mayo so tend to mix tinned tuna with some extra light philidelphia to make a tuna-mayo like consistency for wraps etc

    oh that sounds great, almost like homemade california rolls!

    Tons of great answers!! Chow Chow Relish is also good in tuna and pretty low calorie if you buy the right kind.

    Take part of the asparagus and puree it and then chop the rest and add that to your tuna with a little chopped garlic and use the puree in place of mayo.

    Broccoli, low fat cheddar, a little lemon juice, and add tuna - microwave for 20 seconds - so good!

    You can also add cilantro, lime, and black beans
    Lemon juice, fat free chobani, dehydrated onion, salt and pepper
