Question

Can you make tuna salad with plain yogurt instead of mayo?

Answer 1

Whole Tuna Salad

5 tbsp. Fat Free Plain Yogurt

2.5 tbsp. Low Fat Mayo

1/2 tbsp. Spicy Mustard

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Dried Basil

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

1 lb. Ahi Tuna, sliced into 1/2" fillets

1 med Onion, diced finely

1 cup Celery, diced finely

4 strips Turkey Bacon, cooked and chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix first 5 ingredients to make dressing, and let sit in fridge to chill while preparing the main ingredients.

Poach the tuna in heavily salted water for 6-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Do not overcook. Drain and gently cool with cold water. Chop tuna into 1/2" chunks and toss with remaining ingredients.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in dressing (you don't want to destroy those huge chunks). Let sit in the refrigerator until cold and until flavors have blended.

The whole batch is 20 pts. and makes approximately 5 cups.
