Tuna salad is usually a blend of two main ingredients: tuna and mayonnaise. The tuna used is usually pre-cooked, canned, and packed in water or oil. Pickles, celery, fruits, and onions are ingredients that are often added. When the spread is placed on the bread, it makes a tuna salad bread. The tuna salad is also regularly served on lettuce, tomato, avocado, or biscuit, or by itself.
A quick homemade tuna salad is often made by removing eggs and just adding to enjoy the tuna and mayonnaise or mayonnaise eggs-substitute. Eggs are removed because they have to be cooked while other ingredients are bought ready to eat. Relish adds a savory taste but, unlike generally added vegetables, there is no need to cut.
In Belgium, a dish of perziken meets tonijn (peach with tuna) is made from fresh or canned peach pieces stuffed with tuna salad. This is widespread throughout the country, and because of the ease of preparation, it is a common fare in potlucks.
Sometimes, as a healthy alternative to mayonnaise, mashed avocado and lemon juice juice are used in preparation of tuna salad.

History
The tuna salad has been eaten for over 100 years. The first written reference to tuna salad, in America, appeared in 1907, and in 1914 dozens of recipes were published. Tuna salad, especially with celery, is similar to chicken salad while also much cheaper, a fact that helped increase its popularity initially.
Because the tuna salad is high in vitamins, it gained the status of a player's dish in the 1960s.
