would mustard work
Answer
Plain yogurt. You can substitute it for any mayo. And yes, mustard is great. I add that always! My typical recipe is tuna, mayo (or yogurt), garlic salt, celery, lemon juice, pickles, salt and pepper. YUM!

How to make delicious tuna?
Q. I have a 5 oz can of white albacore tuna and I'm wondering what's the best way to make it? How much mayo should I use, and anything else that I should throw in there? Salt and pepper, perhaps? I'd use some celery if I had some. I might eat it as a sandwich but I really just want to eat it by itself
Answer
Here are some great recipes:

Healthy Tuna Salad Sandwich
Canned Tuna (in water)
Sweet Relish
Celery
Onion
Dijon Mustard
Green Olives
Tomato
Salt
Pepper
Mescaline Lettuce
Cucumber
Parmesan Cheese
Low Calorie, High Fiber Bread
Canned tuna, which is kept in oil has significantly more fat than tuna canned in water. Be sure that you use the tuna canned in water, otherwise the healthy factor goes straight out the window. Also, the low calories, high fiber bread is easier to find then one would think. Search for breads in the bread aisle that have between 40 & 60 calories per slice. There are several national brands which now produce such breads. These breads also go hand & hand with having higher fiber content because they tend to use whole grains. Finally, each can of tuna produces 2 sandwiches.
Place your bread in the toaster oven. While obviously this is an optional step, crisp bread tends to hold the contents of this bread better than bread that has not been toasted.
Open the can of tuna & place the contents in the small strainer. Run the tuna under tap water. This will help alleviate any residual âfishy smellâ. Blot any excess water away from the tuna using a paper towel. Place the tuna in your small bowl. Chop one celery stalk, one slice of onion & three green olives (pitted) into a small enough size that they will mix well with the tuna.
Add the chopped celery, onion & green olives to the small mixing bowl. Spoon a small dollop of Dijon mustard into the mixing bowl. Sprinkle salt & pepper to taste. Stir the tuna, celery, onion, olives, salt, pepper, & mustard together until it is well mixed. Be sure tobreak up any large chunks of tuna that remain from the canning process. Remove & plate the bread from the toaster oven. Spread the tuna salad over the bread. (Remember one averaged sized can produces two sandwiches.) Slice pieces of tomato, cucumber & Parmesan thinly. Remember that there is a lot going on this tuna salad sandwich, so a few slices of each go a long way. Also, the Parmesan is merely for that wonderful nutty, acidic taste. The fat content of cheese is significant, so use it sparingly.
Layer the tomato, cucumber, & Parmesan on top of the tuna salad sandwich. Add a few pieces of lettuce & then cap with the final piece of bread. Voila, you have just completed the healthy tuna salad sandwich.
Not only will the total caloric value of the sandwich be less than 300 calories, it will also be packed with fiber & fresh vegetables. Pair this meal with a low calorie soup for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
A Variation on the Recipe:
Some people are not big fans of mustard. If this is the case, try using just the tiniest splash of olive oil instead. It will help bind your tuna salad with a heart healthy oil. Just remember that olive oil is loaded with fat, so a half tablespoon at most should be used for each average size can.
========================
Italian Tuna Salad
4 sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 red onion, minced
1 (12-ounce) can solid white albacore tuna in water, drained
1 rib celery, chopped
1/4 cup pitted nicoise olives
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
Suggested serving: whole grain breads or bountiful greens
Cover the sun-dried tomatoes with hot water in a bowl. Set aside until soft, about 20 minutes, then drain, chop, & put in a medium bowl. To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain it well, pat dry & add to the tomatoes.
Add the tuna, breaking it into large chunks, along with the celery, olives, & capers, & toss to combine. Add the olive oil, lemon zest & juice, & basil & toss again. Season, to taste, with salt & pepper. Serve cold, with bread or greens, if desired.
