Ingredients for Tuna Egg Salad
To make this salad, you will need:
- 1 x 12 ounce can tuna
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 2 TBSP celery
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 TBSP Dill Relish
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- ¼ tsp celery seed
- ¼ tsp seasoned salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
It doesn’t matter if the canned tuna is in water or oil, as this will be drained out before adding to the salad. Make sure to flake out the tuna when adding it to the bowl.
This recipe is best made with chilled hard-boiled eggs.
If you prefer dijon or honey mustard instead of yellow mustard, you can use them instead. Even try whole grain mustard for a delicious flavour.
