great recommendations, i am about to try the one with vinegar/oil dressing and tossed onions!
If you like mayo then use a little bit of mayo. It's only bad for you in large quantities and if you eat it all day everyday. I use just a little bit to trick my tastebucs into thinking it's really there. But for more flavor I also put in a little bit of spicy mustard and a spoonful of relish. It adds a lot of flavor.
Word of caution. Beward of anything labed fat-free. It's loaded with sugar. There is no such thing as fat-free mayo, it simply does not exist in nature and it is concocted in a chemistry lab... the last place food should be prepared.
I mix tuna with fat-free yogurt, mustard, pickle relish, and whatever herbs are handy.

I use a bit of sour cream to hold it together, and lots of pickle relish and/or mustard (I actually sometimes buy a pickle relish that has mustard in it).
You might try mixing it with pasta sauce if you like an Italian-y flavor?
My fav way to eat tuna: mix it with finely chopped celery and apple cider vinegar! Delish!!
This thread has so many good ideas for my tuna that I can't wait to try. I normally eat it with some kind of mustard (I do love my mustard) but sometimes I'll eat it with salsa too. I'm thinking I might have to get adventerous and try both now.
and some light philadelphia cheese!
A few tablespoons of salsa. Doesn't "bind" it together like mayo will, but it adds a lot of flavor.

There are a lot of responses to this and I just don't have the time right now to read through them all! But I wanted to chime in with my favorite way to have tuna, in fact I ate this just yesterday!
1 can tuna
1 wedge laughing cow cheese
somewhere around 1 tsp to 1 tbsp of mustard (my favorite is sweet and hot mustard)
chopped onion
chopped bell pepper
chopped dill pickle
liberal amounts of ground black pepper
Delicious!
What people are posting sound delicious. I love tuna.
I like my tuna spicy with jalapenos or Sriracha sauce.
And I'll throw in whatever vegetables I have around and enjoy.
I love it with lemon on it. But it has to be fresh squeezed lemon. About a half one does it usually. I can't stand the bottled stuff...I also make sure I get the good stuff (tuna), not the cheap stuff...it just tastes better.
Albacore tuna, cut up home grown tomatoes, cucumbers and a boiled egg with some zesty fat free Italian dressing is quick and great!
thank you everyone!! i cant wait to try all these recipes now!!!
I like a little balsamic vinegar on mine
