Instead of all mayo, I used Greek yogurt mixed with mayo. I added ~1Tbsp mayo to the 1/2 cup yogurt. Gave it the nice mayo tang w/o all the fat. Served on a bed of Romaine lettuce and drizzled some French dressing over it. Just like Mom's!
Green olives in place of capers

I made this with tinned salmon. Swapped the capers for olives, and yogurt for mayo. It was good if bland. Some smoked paprika helped.
