BRAVO! I hate mayonnaise, and I'm not sure why everyone wants to put it in everything! This is really yummy, and I think it will become a new staple for bring-to-work lunch. I added diced celery. Also, I don't think I'll be able to get 4 servings out of this--I'll try 2. This is a great Weight Watchers recipe. Thanks for spicing up my tuna!

Mayo sucks. Thanks you so much for embracing the Italian dressing as the mayonnaise substitute. This totally works1

This recipe is definately going to my Tried & True Cookbook. I love tuna, but like many other are tired of the boring old mayo, relish, & onion mixture. This recipe is so flavorful and makes you look forward to lunch knowing you are having this salad. This would be great with pasta or cous cous also. Thank you for sharing.

I can't wait to make this! It sounds very fresh and Mediterranean tasting! I'm going to add some fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden (I have tons I need to use up)! I will take this to work for a light and healthy lunch! :)
