Tuna Salad Sandwich

Tuna Salad Sandwich

Everyday

A Tuna Salad Sandwich is a protein-rich lunch staple combining flaked tuna with a mayonnaise-based dressing, typically enhanced with crunchy celery, onions, and herbs like dill. While providing substantial omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, traditional versions can be calorie-dense due to mayonnaise content, though many modern variations substitute Greek yogurt or avocado for reduced fat. The sandwich is commonly served chilled on bread or rolls, offering a balance of creamy texture and briny flavor adaptable to whole-grain or low-carb alternatives.
