Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 9-10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, open the canned tuna and drain the excess water. Transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork.
Once the eggs are done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Add the chopped eggs to the mixing bowl with the tuna.
To the same bowl, add mayonnaise, mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the tuna and egg salad on bread, crackers, lettuce cups, or enjoy it on its own!
