Tuna Fish Salad is a versatile dish often found in western cuisines and enjoyed globally for its simplicity and nutritional benefits. Typically made with canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and seasonings, it can also include variations like hard-boiled eggs, mustard, or fresh herbs for added flavor. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, tuna is an excellent source of heart-healthy and brain-boosting nutrients. The salad is often served on bread, crackers, or greens for a satisfying meal. However, its healthiness largely depends on preparation—excess mayo can increase calorie and fat content, so lighter options like Greek yogurt or avocado can be used as substitutes. Additionally, canned tuna should be consumed in moderation due to varying mercury levels. When balanced with fresh vegetables and low-fat dressings, tuna salad is a nutritious and flavorful option for meals or snacks.
