Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon and to make the dressing. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Chop the eggs into small pieces. I also mash them with a fork to make them even smaller.
- Drain the tuna and put it in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled chopped egg, finely chopped celery, chives, capers and dill. Stir to combine.
- Pour the dressing onto the salad and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning. Serve straight away or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- 1g net carbs per serving. Makes 4 portions of around ⅔ cup or 180 grams.
- Instructions for easy-peel hard boiled eggs (can be prepared up to 3 days in advance):
- Serve the salad on sandwich bread, crackers, cucmber slices, in sturdy lettuce leaves or halved bell peppers.
- Store in the fridge for 3 days. Not suitable for freezing.
- Bring a saucepan with water to the boil.
- Turn the heat down to a simmer and lower the eggs into water with a spoon.
- Cook for 9 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs into a bowl with very cold water. This stops them from cooking.
- Let them cool fully, then peel.
