Instructions: Try adding either dill pickles(chopped)or pickle juice to your tuna. It gives it a nice zip. Also you could add thyme, in addition to the chopped celery. Or how about dill or chopped olives? I like Kraft no-fat mayo since it is not bland, like regular mayo. It is more like salad dressing. Actually, come to think of it you could add lowfat salad dressing instead of mayo. I also add chopped green onion to the tuna salad!

My mother in law has some little secrets for tuna- she has been eating virtually fat free for years and she gives me great ideas. She uses
chervil, lemon pepper (Lawrys brand) and chives along with the other goodies
to spice things up a bit. We also squeeze the juice of a whole lemon in, along with the fat free mayo, yogurt or whatever else you choose to use for
wetting it !!! Its yummy and my family (who turns up noses at fat free)

loves it!!! Good luck!

Ever since getting sick after a heavy mayo meal, I cant stand the stuff!

Instead, I mix in about a tablespoon of horseradish mustard with my tuna, along with the chopped celery. Its not as juicy as mayo, but its definitely not bland!

I like to use chopped radishes in tuna salad, and I like to use about twice
as much vegetables as tuna - radishes, celery, onion, sometimes cilantro.

Also curry powder is good, and fresh hot chopped chiles like serrano or habanero, or pickled hot chiles like pepperoncini (sp?) or Tabasco peppers.

Like you, I use the water packed chunk white tuna. I use Miracle Whip Light, onion, celery and Mrs. Dash (no salt) That adds to the flavor.

Ive always eaten
tuna salad differently: non-fat salad dressing, pickles, celery, & chopped
apple.
