I know lots of people here are on diets that allow high fat, but some of us are having to watch the fats as well as the carbs (we just seem to be more sensitive to it, particularly saturated fats). Don't worry, we're talking moderate fat here, not super low! OK? OK!

Those of us who have this issue still want to eat more good fats, like fish oils, so tuna is still a very attractive option. But tuna salad can get boring. So how can you make tuna salad interesting when you are being spare with the mayo? Some ideas to start:

• use flavored tunas like these
• use tuna in a salad with vinaigrette
• use part mayo (or light mayo), and part yogurt or cottage cheese
• add crunchy things - chopped celery, chopped pickle, slivered/sliced almonds, chopped apple for those who eat fruit
• add herbs, such as thyme
• in a similar vein, use flavored oils (herb-infused, etc.) and vinegars instead of mayo
• add chopped hardboiled eggs
• use endive slices to scoop salad (that's what I like to do)

What tuna salad recipes do you have? Or chicken salad recipes that might apply to the Chicken of the Sea?
