Tuna salad has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century when it gained popularity in the United States. This classic dish typically consists of canned tuna, mayonnaise, and various mix-ins like celery, onions, and pickles. It's believed to have originated in the Southern United States, where it became a staple in home kitchens and diners. Over the years, chefs and home cooks have put their own spin on the recipe, adding ingredients such as hard-boiled eggs, mustard, or even avocado. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in coastal regions known for their fresh seafood, where the quality of the tuna is paramount. Whether served on a bed of greens, between slices of bread, or stuffed in a tomato, tuna salad continues to be a beloved and versatile dish.
