I used part-skim ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese and non=fat greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. Also added a few carrots(just because).Used regular mustard because i didn't have Dijon.Still delicious I have been looking for a alternative for tuna salad and this is it! Thanks GORGEOUS26!

I was skeptical, but this was fantastic! I did not use dill or onion b/c I didn't have any. I used ff cottage cheese and fage 0% greek yogurt and added pepper. Threw it in a Joseph's wrap (5 net carbs) and added some lettuce - can't wait to eat the leftovers! Submitted by:

I LOVED this tuna salad! I doubled the recipe for lunches for the week. I didn't have dill, so I left it out. I did add salt and pepper, but wish I would've skipped the salt. I used 0% Fage greek yogurt. Submitted by:

Beautiful! Delicious, super-easy, healthful. At first missed lemon juice & accidentally heavy on cottage cheese & onion. After tasting, splash (~tsp) lemon juice, more dill (total 1.25 tsp), seasoned salt & fresh black pepper. Extraodinary. Strongly recommend start w/ original (dill!) THANKS Submitted by:

I love mayo-based anything, so I was a bit skeptical of this, but it was SO DELICIOUS, super healthy, so much protein! I used lime juice instead of lemon, apples instead of celery, no dill, and a tiny bit of Lawry's seasoned salt. OMG Yummy!! Submitted by:

I make this recipe with normal tuna instead of albacore. I've also made it with water chestnuts & green onions instead of celery. I decreased the cottage cheese (because of the sodium) & I use non-fat plain greek yogurt. This is fabulous on cucumber rounds instead of bread! Submitted by:

Instead of using cottage cheese and low-fat yogurt, I replaced them, by using just plain fat-free greek yogurt. Turned out great, even my husband liked it! Submitted by:

For years, I've been making chicken, tuna, ham and egg salads using non-fat plain yogurt instead of mayo. This sounds good with the cottage cheese. Once I try it, I'll be back with a rating. Submitted by:

Cottage cheese, huh? This was/is very good and a keeper. To the previous poster, I don't believe the recipe counts for the pictured bread its served on. For an additional 90 calories, I used weight watchers rye bread. Submitted by:

This recipe is pictured on bread....do the calories include the bread?....The calories on the side of my bread bag(100% whole wheat ) was 200 cals for 2 slices!....so I ate just the salad! :) Submitted by:

I will try it with regular cottage cheese and low-carb yogurt. It think it could be much lower in carbs if I did that. Sounds good! Submitted by:
