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 - 3/30/12

this was strangely yummy. i hate mayo, but i will tolerate it in things like tuna salad but it still grosses me out that its in there. now i can have tuna salad without mayo!
very yummy, i added salt and pepper. this will be made again for sure. so happy to not have to rely on mayo! thank you! - 5/5/08

I would never have thought of this combination in a million years, but it is GREAT! The yogurt gives it a special tang. I had no dill the second time I made it and tried basil instead. Yummy! I made it a third time and added a can of drained navy beans and a second can of tuna. It was great! - 3/2/10

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! - 8/19/12

O....M....G.... I can't praise this salad enough! I was sceptical of the tuna/cottage cheese combo, but boy am I glad I gave it a try. I used only 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and had to play a little bit with the lemon/Dijon/dill ratio, but I've ended up with heavenly lunch recipe. : ) SO YUMMY !! - 9/13/15

I may have put too much lemon juice in this, I used the juice from 1/2 lemon. Also, I wasn't sure what size can of tuna to use. I used 14oz (2 small cans). If I make this again, I'll blend the cottage cheese. I'm also thinking this may taste better tomorrow after the flavors have blended more. - 10/20/09
