yes you can use some of the sweet pickle juice from the pickle you should put in it.. You could add a bit of stiff sour cream or stiff yogurt for creaminess.
2 T stiff yogurt or firm sour cream
2 cans tuna (5.5 oz) in water, drained
2-3 shallots (or scallions), finely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
chopped sweet pickles and
2 T of pickle juice
salt %26amp; pepper to taste
(optional) 1 hard boiled egg, chopped
Place yogurt in strainer in refrigerator to let the water seperate and leak out so the yogurt will be firm. Throw away strained out water.
Mix together: strained yogurt, drained tuna, chopped celery, finely chopped shallots, salt %26amp; pepper to taste. Sometimes I add a chopped hard boiled egg, which is nutritious, but that adds fat.
For low-salt salad, use low-salt tuna %26amp; don't add salt. Serve on salad greens or on whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomato slices.
Makes enough for 5 sandwiches.Are there any recipes for ';tuna fish salad'; that does NOT use mayonnaise?

Salsa Tuna Salad
Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup chopped green pepper
Lettuce leaves, optional
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, salsa and pepper. Stir in the tuna, corn and green pepper. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
I've never tried it, so I can't guarantee that this will work. But I believe you can get away with substituting sour cream or plain yogurt for the mayo.
Good Luck.

My husband likes to mix salsa and tuna fish to make a tuna salad sandwich. I don't know if this is what you are looking for...but it's a suggestion.
You could also do tuna, lemon juice, and some fresh chopped herbs.
Just omit the mayo and add all the things that you like ie: scallions, olives,celery,sweet pickles, hard boiled egg, salt/pepper. Then add some olive oil or even your favorite mustard.
have you tried just tossing it with lemon juice and a bit of oil? add in your favourite seasonings (i like Old Bay), some celery and parsley and you're set.
yes you can use just white vinegar that is you like the natural taste of things you eat try it
EVOO-not too much
check out these ones from taste.com.au (best food magazines in australia)
some of them look really yummy!
