Ingredients
Serves: 2 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 7 minutes
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon pickle relish
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoon mustard
- 1 can (6 oz) tuna, drained
- Freshly ground black pepper
How to Make Tuna and Egg Salad
For perfect hard boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot with cold water and gently bring to a boil. When the water boils, cover the pot, turn off the heat and let stand for exactly 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, drain the hot water and rinse with icy cold water for a minute to stop the cooking and prevent a grey ring from forming around the yolk.
Peel the eggs, chop them roughly and place in a bowl.
Combine the eggs in a bowl with the relish, mayonnaise, hot sauce and mustard.
Add the tuna, mix again and season to taste with black pepper. Adjust the texture if necessary with more mayonnaise.
