Ingredients

• 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
• 4 large hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 stalks celery
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tablespoons dill pickles
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the saucepan, place them in an ice bath to cool, then peel them carefully.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces.

Step 3

Dice the hard-boiled eggs into small chunks and add them to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 4

Finely chop the celery, red onion, dill pickles, and parsley. Add these to the bowl for added crunch and fresh flavor.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy and tangy dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the tuna and egg mixture. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the ingredients too much so the texture stays light.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 8

Serve the Tuna and Egg Salad Divine chilled. It can be enjoyed on its own, as a filling in sandwiches or wraps, or alongside crackers and fresh vegetables.
