COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNA & EGG SALAD (NO MAYO)
Not your usual tuna or egg salad, this can be enjoyed as is, in a sandwich, on top of greens, or any other way that sounds good to you. If you want to add a touch of mayo for creaminess, go ahead- but it's plenty good without! You can change up the ingredients to suit what you have on hand, or what you like- chopped pickles instead of capers, oil packed tuna instead of water packed, different herbs, shallot instead of green onion... This is just how I first made it based on what was in my kitchen.

TUNA EGG SALAD
This is the recipe I use for my family and its always a hit. I use an equal amount of finely chopped hard boiled egg added to a can of tuna (I prefer the albacore tuna). For those who don't care for a strongish fish flavor in their tuna salad, this'll do it for you. It truely is awesome. Enjoy!

CREAMY TUNA & EGG SALAD
I was hungry for egg salad but wanted it to have a bit more omphf and some more protein to last in my gut, so I added tuna. I have both mayo and miracle whip in the recipe just in case some don't like the tang of miracle whip, so it tones it down somewhat.

Steps:
- Put eggs into a pot with cold water and bring to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, cover the pan and remove from the burner. Set your timer for ten minutes.
- Cut up onion and drain tuna while the eggs cook.
- Once the eggs have done their 10 minute soak, rinse with COLD water to stop the cooking process.
- Continue to rinse the eggs until you can hold them to remove the shell.
- Remove the shell, rinse away any shell particles and cut into chunks (or small pieces if you like a finer texture).
- Mix the egg, tuna, onion in a bowl with a fork.
- Add mayo, Miracle Whip, ground mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and mix until blended.
- Enjoy on bread or toast; or top a plate of mixed greens with tomatoes. You could also stuff tomatoes with the salad. A perfect summer meal when you don't want to turn on the oven!
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh crab, tuna, and eggs will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can make your own by whisking together 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper in a bowl. Then, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of olive oil, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- If you want a creamier salad, add an extra 1/4 cup of mayonnaise.
- If you prefer a more tangy salad, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
