Tuna Salad... Hold the Mayo

I love tuna salad sandwiches, but when it comes to mayo... no thanks!

Our home is a no mayo zone. In fact, I think the only time in the last 22+ years that I bought mayo was about  18 or so years ago when I used part of a small jar to make a mayonnaise cake... you know... the moist chocolate cake that uses mayo instead of  eggs. The cake was just ok, and I threw the rest of the jar in the garbage.
So how do I make my tuna salad?
My not-so-secret ingredient is Italian Dressing.
Seriously. It compliments the tuna perfectly, adding just the right amount of zing and yummy flavor.

Tuna Salad... Hold the Mayo
What You Need:
I never measure- you can just eyeball the amount of each ingredient to your taste.
Canned tuna, drained
celery, chopped
red or green onion, finely diced or sliced
a little Parmesan cheese
Italian Dressing

What You Do:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve as sandwiches or on crackers.
    For a tuna melt, you can add cheese and pop it under the broiler for a couple minutes.

  2. Greek yogurt cuts the fat and adds protein. Add a little hot sauce and you get a super tasty sammich :)

  3. I'm going to have to make it like this and try it. I just bought a bunch of tuna and would like to steer away from using mayo. Thank you for sharing at our Pinteresting Party!
