Tonnato Sauce

tonnato sauce
Traditionally served over cold, poached veal slices, tonnato is a tangy, Italian mayonnaise style sauce made with tuna, anchovy, and capers. It can be used as a dip for fresh vegetables and keto crackers, a salad dressing, a sauce for zucchini noodles, a spread for low-carb sandwiches or lettuce wraps, or anything else you can dream up.
