What else can you mix tuna with except mayonnaise?
peanut butter
Use smart balance light mayo....it only got 5g fat, which are efa's none is sat fat.
Mustard is a good alternative to mayo. I prefer mixing my tuna with some hot sauce or Tabassco.
I've used both milk and water. Now I don't use anything. Do you want a mayo substitute for consistency or taste?
Try Balsamic Vinegar
I get low fat mayo. Works for me
Mustard or buy in vegetable oil/mix with olive oil
cottage cheese
mustard works great for me...

I am cutting and just use mustard. Yummy :P If you look at the salad dressing or health isle of your local grocery store(especially publix) I know you can find some interesting sub's for mayo just look around.
HP Spicy BBQ sauce from tesco or the usual supermarkets. I've been eating 2 tins a day like this and its got me addicted.

cottage cheese has more sat fat and sodium than mayo...
i mix my tuna with pickled ginger and balsamic vinegar... sometimes if i want to spice things up i would add some thai dried chilli flakes.
recently i tried blending tuna with oatmeal and heat it up a little bit, to my surprise it tasted rather good! i think it would taste even better if a table spoon of oil is added in. (flax oil/ olive oil?)
or smashing tuna with sweet potatoes...
try some salsa.

I'll have to try that. I smash mine with regular potatoes and then put a few drops of tabasco or a spoon full of salsa in there. I love it but it sure stinks up the cafeteria at work when lunch time comes.
oh yeah, imagine smashed sweet potatoes with tuna and a squeeze of lime and some chilli... hmmm.
Try some FF yogurt...works really well....has almost the same consistancy as Mayo except well....healthy...no fat or sat fat or anything.,..
A quick heads up about low fat mayo. Generally, low fat versions have added sugar to make up for the reduction in fat. Most won't put sugar content on the labels because of this, but when you see the carbs double and sugar move up to the first ingredient on the list, you know somethings up.
Just make sure the trade-off is worth it. This happens in a lot of other foods as well, so beware.
My italian mother in law (great cook) suggested relish and I thought it could be a good idea.

I am looking for a mayo substitute because of "taste/flavor" not consistency.
Thanks
Instead of bread, what about a flour tortilla? 1 tortilla = 130 Calories, 30 Calories from Fat, 3g Total Fat, 23g Carbs, Dietary Fiber 2g, Protein 3g.
Also no fat free mayo here. Can a healthy sub (for mayo) be Dijonnaise Mustard? Serving size 10g has 96 Kj Energy (whatever that is?), .03g Protein, 1.3g Total Fat, 0.1g Sat Fat, 2.6g Carbs, 1.9g Sugars.
Or what about the BBQ Sauce suggestion? Kraft Steakhouse Style BBQ Sauce? ServSize 2 Tbsp, 50 Calories, no Fat, 12g Total Carb, 11g Sugar, No protein or any other values.
Could these be healthy substitutes?
just use a tbsp or 2 of lite mayo. i make my tuna with that and a little relish and i'm doing just fine over here. you'll burn off the 40 calories that the light mayo has by walking from the fridge to the kitchen table. dont worry bout it.
[QUOTE=PJ40]Try Balsamic Vinegar[/QUOTE]
i do the same...this stuff is amazing!
[QUOTE=spooledup]cottage cheese has more sat fat and sodium than mayo...[/QUOTE]
not the 1% sodium free..lol
I make good use of Tabasco Sauce. Also, Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard.
BTW, I just tried chili flavored mustard from Plochman's. I've put some on a baked potato, and it's pretty friggin' good! It even looks a bit like chili. One teaspoon is labled at 0 calories.
