Tuna Egg Salad
Description
Tuna Egg Salad combines the flavors and textures of chopped hard-boiled eggs and canned tuna, bound together with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. The mayonnaise offers creaminess while mustard introduces a slight tang and depth. Finely diced celery adds crunch, and sweet relish brings a subtle sweetness that balances the savory elements.
Green onions provide freshness and a mild onion flavor, complemented by dill which adds an herbal lift. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the salad is straightforward and flavorful. It is ideal for spreading on bread for sandwiches or serving atop a bed of lettuce.
Draining the tuna well ensures the salad is not watery. Chilling the eggs before chopping and incorporating them helps maintain good texture. Leftovers stay well refrigerated for several days, with a quick stir restoring creaminess before serving.
