Never thought to use plain greek yogurt in with tuna fish! Great idea! I eat greek yogurt quite often, so I think this will be a great alternative to my tuna salads. Thanks everyone!

Great article! I use low fat yogurt in place of mayo, add chopped celery and apples for extra crunch! Less guilt

I like mixing tuna with a chunky salsa! I got the idea when in college and have just continued it because I like it so much. It does make the bread soggy though so I add the mixture right before I'm going to eat.

Sometimes I'll mix a bit of tuna with some vinegrette type salad dressing and eat it like that as a bit of a protein snack. But I like the idea of mixing beans and chickpeas in it since I love beans and chickpeas.

Hi Sue,
Great question! The tuna's mercury content does not change when they are canned. You will find differences in mercury between different varieties of tuna–for example, albacore and bluefin have less mercury than bigeye tuna.

Does fresh tuna have less mercury than canned?

I used water-packed albacore tuna and add nonfat plain yogurt and some sweet pickle relish. It's really good on salad greens or on whole grain bread.
