About Tuna salad with egg

Tuna salad is a lunchtime workhorse: canned tuna flaked and bound with mayonnaise, here with chopped hard-boiled egg and usually celery, onion and a squeeze of lemon. Spread in a sandwich, scooped onto greens or eaten straight from the bowl, it is quick, cheap and protein-packed.

Both the tuna and the egg make it a strong source of complete protein, along with vitamin B12, selenium and a little omega-3 from the fish. The mayonnaise is what adds most of the fat, putting it around 190 calories per 100 grams — moderate, with the dressing doing most of the calorie work.

Using less mayo, or part Greek yogurt, keeps it high in protein while trimming the fat. Piled onto wholegrain bread or a bed of salad, tuna-and-egg salad makes a filling, nutrient-dense lunch that holds you through the afternoon.
