Tuna fish and mayonnaise is a simple yet popular combination often used as a sandwich filling, salad topping, or dip. A staple in Western cuisine, this mixture blends canned or fresh tuna, a lean protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, with mayonnaise, which typically contains eggs, oil, and vinegar. Tuna provides essential nutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, and heart-healthy fats, while mayonnaise adds creaminess and flavor but is high in calories and fats. This pairing offers a balance of protein and energy but should be consumed in moderation due to mayonnaise’s saturated fat and sodium content. Variations can include adding celery, onions, or spices for more texture and flavor. For a healthier twist, lower-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute, making this dish a versatile option for meals or snacks.
