Tuna Salad

Tuna Salad

Everyday

Tuna salad is a protein-rich prepared dish combining flaked tuna with mayonnaise and often celery, onions, or pickles. This versatile mixture derives its high protein content from canned tuna while varying significantly in fat and sodium levels based on dressing choices and added ingredients. Common adaptations include using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for reduced calories, and it's frequently served as a sandwich filling or atop leafy greens for a complete meal.
