Its history originates from the classic combination of fish and sauce used in various culinary traditions for centuries. Tender tuna seasoned with zesty Dijon mustard and light mayonnaise gains a rich flavor with a pleasant creamy texture. Sweet notes of sugar balance salty accents, creating a harmonious palette of flavors. Serving on whole grain bread makes the sandwich even more nutritious, while adding capers or olives adds sophistication. The paste can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar, allowing you to enjoy this delicacy at any convenient time. It's an excellent way to diversify your diet with minimal effort.
