Tunafish Salad is a versatile dish made from canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise or yogurt, often combined with chopped celery, onions, pickles, or herbs for added flavor and texture. Originating as a staple in American cuisine, it’s popular in sandwiches, wraps, or served atop leafy greens. Packed with lean protein from tuna, it’s a great option for muscle building and overall energy. Tuna is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and cognitive function. For a lighter version, replacing mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or avocado reduces unhealthy fats while maintaining creaminess. However, it's important to consume tuna in moderation due to its potential mercury content. Pairing the salad with whole-grain bread or fresh vegetables creates a balanced, nutrient-dense meal. Tunafish Salad offers a simple, flavorful way to eat healthily without sacrificing taste.
