What do I need to make no mayo tuna salad?

- A single-serving (2.6 oz) Chunk Light Tuna (packed in water)
- Green onion
- Celery
- Dill pickle (or dill relish)
- Onion salt
- Fresh ground pepper
What is a healthy substitute for mayo?
Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt is a great option to substitute mayonnaise. As you can see from the nutrition label above, this popular mayo brand first ingredient is Soybean Oil. This is an ultra-trans fat oil and highly inflammatory and toxic in our bodies.
Mayonnaise is also very calorie dense. As you can see from the label, just 1 tablespoon of mayo is 100 calories.
With plain full-fat Greek yogurt, you get the same creamy texture without all the calories or toxic oils. Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt comes in at just 28 calories (Fage 5% plain Greek yogurt) for 2 tablespoons.
What can you mix tuna with besides mayo?
In addition to plain full-fat Greek yogurt, mustard is also a good option as well as Tzatziki.
My Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip is very similar to Tzatziki and tastes amazing!

This tuna salad with Greek yogurt is fantastic on Avocado toast! Simply add 1/4 of an avocado to your favorite multi-grain bread, mash and spread. Top with the delicious tuna salad and sprinkle with some additional green onions and fresh pepper. Delicious!
Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad Option 2: Loaded Green Salad
This delicious green salad with avocado, pickled red onions, carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers is a salad lovers dream! With the Greek Yogurt Tuna salad as the protein source, this salad is filling and delicious.
Tuna Salad Option 3: Stuffed Avocado or Tomato

Is canned tuna good for weight loss?
Yes! Canned tuna or vacuum sealed tuna pouches are a great source of lean protein. When mixed with Greek yogurt, it makes for a very healthy protein source for a salad, sandwich or stuffed avocado or tomato.
