Tuna mayonnaise is a versatile and popular dish made by combining canned tuna with mayonnaise. Often enhanced with ingredients like celery, onion, or pickles for added flavor and texture, this simple mixture is commonly used as a sandwich filling, salad topping, or dip. With its origins rooted in Western cuisine, tuna mayonnaise has become a staple in quick, convenient dining. Tuna provides high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin D, which contribute to heart and brain health. However, its nutritional profile can vary based on the amount and type of mayonnaise used, as mayonnaise is calorie-dense and high in fat. Choosing a lighter or low-fat version of mayonnaise can make this dish a more balanced choice. Additionally, adding fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread can boost overall nutritional value while maintaining its classic creamy flavor.
