🧭 History
Tuna salad has been an American classic since the early 1900s, when canned tuna became affordable and widely available. People loved how easy it was to mix tuna with mayonnaise and whatever vegetables they had.
Over the years, everyone adapted tuna salad in their own way — adding pickles, herbs, mustard, eggs, spices… But celebrity versions have always caught attention because they bring new, bold, refreshing twists.
Matthew McConaughey’s version became viral because he adds: ⭐ Grapes for sweetness ⭐ Hard-boiled egg for richness ⭐ Spinach for freshness ⭐ Pickled jalapeños for heat — A combination nobody expected but everyone loved.
