About Tuna salad
Tuna salad is a versatile and protein-rich dish commonly enjoyed across various cuisines worldwide. Made primarily from canned tuna, it often includes ingredients like mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, celery, onion, pickles, and seasonings for flavor. Some versions incorporate boiled eggs, herbs, or even mustard for added complexity. This dish is believed to have American origins, where it became popular as a convenient, affordable lunch option. Tuna itself is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or serving it on whole-grain bread can boost its nutritional value. However, the use of mayonnaise can make it high in calories and fat, so using healthier substitutes or reducing portions can help balance its healthiness. Tuna salad is a satisfying option for those seeking a quick, customizable meal with a mix of taste and nutrition.
