About Tuna salad tramezzini

Tuna Salad Tramezzini is a popular Italian sandwich made using soft white bread, crustless and filled with a creamy mixture of tuna salad. Originating in Italy and commonly served as a light snack or appetizer, this dish blends protein-rich canned tuna with mayonnaise, boiled eggs, and often vegetables like celery or lettuce. It provides a balanced nutritional profile: high in protein from tuna (approx. 20-25g per serving) and omega-3 fatty acids, with additional fats from mayonnaise. Depending on the recipe, it may also contain carbohydrates from the bread and micronutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and potassium.
