The tuna sauce is a traditional sauce for appetizers or to accompany second courses of both meat and fish. The ingredients of the tuna sauce are boiled eggs, capers, anchovies, tuna, and meat broth. The tuna sauce is excellent for canapés, sandwiches, salads, and cold meat dishes such as the classic vitello tonnato. For convenience, you can use mayonnaise, which you can buy ready-made or make yourself following this recipe. Try also the turkey with tuna sauce!!
