Tonnikalasalaatti, or tuna salad, is a popular dish in Finnish and broader European cuisine, offering a balanced and nutritious option for meals. Typically, it includes canned tuna, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, boiled eggs, and often mayonnaise or yogurt-based dressing. Variations may incorporate onion, bell peppers, olives, or even pasta for added texture and flavor. This versatile salad is rich in protein from the tuna and eggs, while the fresh vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber, supporting overall health. Mayonnaise-based dressings, though tasty, can increase the fat and calorie content, making lighter dressings a preferred alternative for a healthier profile. Tonnikalasalaatti is a convenient dish for quick preparation, perfect for lunch or as a side, showcasing the Nordic preference for clean, simple flavors and seasonal ingredients.
