Ingredients

• 2 cans Canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
• 2 pieces Potatoes (medium, boiled and cooled)
• 1 piece Red onion (small, finely chopped)
• 3 pieces Dill pickles (finely diced)
• 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until tender (about 12–15 minutes), then drain and let cool completely. Peel the skins and dice them into small cubes.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna, breaking it apart into smaller flakes with a fork. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes, chopped red onion, diced dill pickles, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to form a creamy dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently stir to evenly coat all the ingredients without breaking apart the potatoes too much.

Step 6

Fold in the fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a light meal or side dish, optionally garnished with extra parsley or sliced pickles.
