Tuna Egg Salad
Description
The salad combines drained tuna and chopped hard-boiled eggs as the main protein base. Plain Greek yogurt provides creaminess without the heaviness of mayonnaise. Finely chopped red onion and dill pickle add crunchy texture and fresh, tangy accents. Sea salt, black pepper, and dried dill season the mixture and enhance the flavors. Fresh dill garnish adds an herbal brightness on serving.
The salad is simply mixed until combined, making the creamy texture consistent and accessible. Serving it wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves offers a low-carb and refreshing alternative to bread or crackers, but breads or crackers can also be used for serving.
The dish keeps well stored in an airtight container in the fridge for several days, which makes it practical for meal prep and leftovers. The recipe also suggests substituting mayonnaise or mashed avocado if Greek yogurt is not preferred.
