5 Ways to Fix Dry Tuna Salad Without More Mayo

Swap in Greek yogurt Greek yogurt matches mayo’s texture but is tangier and lighter. Use a 1:1 replacement, or go half yogurt, half mayo if you want less tang.

Use mashed avocado Mashed avocado adds healthy fats and a mild flavor that blends in. One small avocado per can of tuna works, but eat it the same day to avoid browning.

Drizzle olive oil A simple drizzle of olive oil adds moisture without heaviness. It keeps the salad light and fresh.

Add pickle brine A splash of pickle brine adds both moisture and acidity. It brightens the flavor without extra fat.

Blend in cottage cheese A forkful of cottage cheese blended smooth works as a creamy binder. It’s a protein-rich alternative that avoids the greasy mayo bomb.
