tuna salad

Mayo-mixed fish dish

Tuna salad is a cold dish of canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise and other ingredients—commonly celery, onion, pickles, or hard-boiled eggs.

It serves as a filling for sandwiches or a topping for crackers and salads: I'll have the tuna salad on rye.

The deli staple varies widely by household and region.
