About Tonnato sauce
Tonnato sauce is a creamy, flavorful condiment originating from Italian cuisine, specifically from the Piedmont region. Traditionally made with a blend of tuna, olive oil, mayonnaise, capers, anchovies, and lemon juice, this sauce pairs beautifully with meats, vegetables, and breads. Its rich, savory taste comes from the umami of tuna and anchovies, balanced by the tang of lemon and briny capers. While tonnato sauce is high in protein due to its tuna and anchovy content, it can also be calorie-dense because of the mayonnaise and olive oil. These ingredients provide healthy fats, but portion control is essential for those monitoring calories or fat intake. Typically served cold, tonnato sauce is a versatile accompaniment to dishes like vitello tonnato, offering a taste of classic Italian culinary tradition. For a lighter variation, Greek yogurt may replace mayonnaise, reducing calories while preserving its signature creamy texture.
