I LOVE mayo so I was a little hesitant to eat tuna salad w/o it. But this was awesome! Loved it – thanks for another great recipe :)

I am a huge fan of mayo, love, love love it… however, it doesn’t love me, or my scale, and the one reason I hardly ever eat tuna salad is because of the huge amount of mayo that needs to go into it to moisten it. It becomes incredibly fattening. So thanks for this great alternative, I can’t wait to give it a try!!

Another great tortilla to use is Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortillas. I love these, but next time I make it to a SuperFresh I’ll check out the AC ones.

Okay, so I don’t mind mayo, but I know it packs a punch calorie and fat wise, and I don’t really care for tuna, so I used canned chicken (which I always use for salads) for this recipe. I only had plain feta, and didn’t really want lemon juice with my chicken, so I used a little light balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and this was fabulous. IS fabulous, I should say, because I’m eating the second half for lunch as I type. I’m having it on a whole wheat sandwich wrap. So proud of myself for having something other than lean cuisine!

A great substitute for mayo is avocado. Mayo has so many unwanted calories, and avocados have great healthy fats, which we all need. I use them all the time to replace mayo, especially on sandwiches and burgers.

wow! I love those nutritional stats! I have NEVER liked mayo, only miracle whip, and even that only on rare occasions. I think I could totally get my husband to eat this, and I have most of the ingredients in my garden!

This was delicious! I made it with leftover cutup turkey! Add a little basamic and it’s out of this world. Roni, you have made my work lunches far less boring :)

Haha Roni, I have no idea what SuperFresh is! We don’t have those in California. Thanks for letting me know!

Second the hummus idea. I’ve made tuna with hummus as the “mayo” before and it’s really good. However, I do love mayo and it’ll probably gross you out but I’d rather dip my fries in mayo then ketchup. Ewww, huh? :)

Lisa – It’s actually a store brand called Americas Choice, I believe. I think I got them at SuperFresh

I usually make tuna salad with mostly mustard (I prefer Gulden’s spicy brown) and a tiny bit of mayo, maybe a 1/2 teaspoon. At a truck stop restaurant I used to frequent in another state they made it with honey mustard. I like Marlo’s idea of the greek yogurt, I’ll have to try that next time I make some.

I bet this would be delicious with a nice big side of pepproncinis :)

I’m with you on the mayo yuckiness scale–hate it. Can’t even smell it. So I’ve been substituting low fat or fat free greek style yogurt in place of mayo—works like a charm…and a little goes a long way–try it!! All the best and happy eating!

YUM! That looks great. I hate mayo, too- just thinking about it makes me a little queasy. I do tuna salad with feta, lemon juice, thyme, carrots, celery, salt and a few cracks of black pepper.

I’ve started mixing hummus with my tuna and some diced carrot and celery. Very tasty.

I don’t eat pasta salads, cole slaw, or potato salads because I’m not a fan of a lot of mayo. I grew up smearing (scraping!?) just a tad of miracle whip on my burger, sandwich, or hot dog, and sometimes mayo, but I never liked it seeping out from my sandwich, and I always ask for it to be withheld if someone else is making my sandwich/burger/wrap because nobody knows the meaning of “only a little” mayo.

I did grow up on tuna salad though. I don’t have the guts to try canned tuna in any other form though. Perhaps one of these days…

I LOVE how you bulked up the tuna with a ton of veggies. I need to do that to more meals that look like they need a little something extra.
