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.

Adding eggs to tina salad was such a great move. I used the pack of pre boiled eggs from Costco, never making it the old way again.
