Notes

The Best Type of Yogurt for Tuna Salad

This recipe substitutes mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt, which gives the tuna salad a similar flavor but less fat and a different texture.
You can use non fat Greek yogurt, 2% or even 4% yogurt in this recipe depending on your preferences. You can even opt for a soy or coconut plain yogurt for a dairy-free option.
Plain Greek yogurt has fewer calories than mayo, and tastes great. Either way, Greek yogurt makes a really great substitute for mayo in this easy recipe!
