Tuna mayonnaise is a simple, versatile mixture often used as a sandwich filling, salad topping, or baked potato accompaniment. Traditionally made by combining canned tuna with mayonnaise, it can be tailored with seasonings like pepper, lemon juice, or herbs. Tuna is a lean source of protein and contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, the inclusion of mayonnaise, often high in fat and calories, makes it less ideal for those seeking low-fat options. Originating from Western cuisine, this dish has gained popularity worldwide for its convenience and adaptability. Healthier variations may substitute regular mayonnaise with lighter or plant-based options like Greek yogurt. When consumed in moderation and paired with whole-grain bread or fresh vegetables, tuna mayonnaise can be part of a balanced diet, offering both flavor and nutritional value.
