Best Mayo Free Tuna Sandwich Filling Recipes
TASTY TUNA MELT, NO MAYO
This tuna melt tastes incredibly rich and uses no mayo. It's a versatile recipe too. You can change the type of bread or cheese, spice it up or down, or even switch it to salmon instead of tuna, and it always comes out great. The lime juice "pre cooks" the tuna and makes it seem creamier, so you don't need any mayonnaise. It makes 4 sandwiches if your bread slices are small, but only 2 or 3 larger sandwiches if you use big slices of bread.

Steps:
- Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
- Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
- Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
- Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
- (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
- (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
- Serve them while they're hot.
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TUNA SANDWICH (NO MAYO!)
I came up with this concoction one day when I was craving eggs and tuna and hand no mayo. So, in order to create the consistency desired to hold the tuna together I decided to add the yolk of a sunny-side up egg. The result was delicious and healthier than traditional tuna & mayo sandwiches! I have also tried this recipe with my brother and his buds agreed! I hope your taste buds will enjoy it as much as mine did! For a lighter meal, skip the bread and place tuna over a bed of lettuce!

TUNA SANDWICH WITHOUT MAYO
I can't eat mayo, so I never really liked tuna until one day I tried making it like this. It's really simple, but a great alternative if you don't like mayo.

Steps:
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat.
- Spread one slice of bread with cream cheese.
- Top with tuna.
- Add the provolone on top of the tuna.
- Top with second slice of bread.
- Butter the outside slices of the sandwich and grill in the pan like a grilled cheese sandwich.
- Another option is to grill in a panini maker.
- A quicker and perhaps lighter option is to toast the bread in a toaster before assembling the sandwich and then microwave for 30 seconds or so just enough to melt the cheese.
- You can experiment with different cheeses--I have used Swiss, Munster and sharp cheddar as well.
- You can change the cream cheese to plain or veggie as well.
- If the tuna is still to "dry" for you, try mixing 1-2 tablespoons sour cream with the tuna before assembling the sandwich.
