Which is the better option At CHH for a dieter? Lighthouse sandwich with the hummus and broccoli slaw or the tuna sandwich. Do either use mayo?

Thanks.

I love the tuna sandwich at CHH. It is fresh and delicious. But yes, they do use mayo

Tuna sandwich has mayonnaise. I never order it as I hate mayonnaise.

Thanks. Do you know if they use mayo in the broccoli slaw? I'm am not a mayo person, either, but always seem to forget to ask about that until after I have ordered it.

When I go there I only order the fish and chicken.

DH and I sometimes get one of each and split. I like the tuna better but it does have mayo in it. There is dressing on the broccoli slaw but I'm not sure if it's mayo based.

If you really dislike mayo, maybe you should reconsider your choices. If it's mainly about calories you could just practice portion control. Is there anyone you could share with?

I would do the Lighthouse Sandwich.

I ordered the tuna once on the recommendation from this board, but it was pretty gross. It was just tuna mixed w/ mayo, no relish or anything - anyone could make a better tuna sandwich, so I don't get the appeal.

We had the Lighthouse Sandwich a few months ago and it was fresh and good. Though I think the best choice for a meal there is the fried shrimp.

I believe the broccoli slaw on the hummus sandwich has a little mayo in it, but much less than the amount of mayo in the tuna. Hummus in and of itself contains some oil, but in theory it is healthier than mayo. I highly recommend the hummus sandwich for something different, anyway, even if it isn't healthier...the taste is very light and refreshing and also filling enough. You can eat tuna anywhere; I didn't notice anything particularly unique about the tuna at CHH.

This. If I recall, the dressing for the broccoli slaw was quite thin- definitely not being "held together" by the dressing. I love that sandwich there.

I googled the lighthouse sandwich and the recipe came up.

The tuna sandwich is made with mayo but it doesn't seem like tons of mayo. it's very good and seems like a healthier option at CHH, especially compared to the fish and chips! They also have good salads and lots of dressing choices if that is any "healthier" than the tuna.

You guys are awesome! Thank you. Here I am...thinking I'll be healthy while at WDW. That usually lasts about 1/2 a day; then, I'm at Ghirardelli's.
Thanks again everyone.
