A tuna sandwich is a classic and versatile meal made primarily with canned or fresh tuna, often mixed with mayonnaise, and typically served between slices of bread or a roll. It is commonly paired with ingredients like lettuce, tomato, celery, onions, or pickles to enhance its texture and flavor. Originating from American cuisine, the tuna sandwich has become a global favorite due to its simplicity and adaptability. Tuna is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, the addition of mayonnaise can increase the calorie and fat content, so lighter options like Greek yogurt or mustard can be used for a healthier twist. Served as a quick lunch or light dinner, the tuna sandwich strikes a balance between convenience and nutrition while offering room for customization to fit dietary preferences.
