Time 15m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
  • Cover and chill about one hour to blend flavors.
  • Serve on crackers, bread, or a bed of mixed greens.
  • Optional: You may also add to the above 1/4 cup sliced stuffed Spanish olives and/or 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna. Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it tends to be lower in quality.
  • Use a variety of ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients to create a unique and flavorful salad. Some popular additions include celery, onion, cucumber, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. Tuna salad can quickly become heavy and greasy if you use too much mayonnaise. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Season to taste. Tuna salad should be seasoned to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, lemon juice, and dill.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or a light and refreshing dinner, tuna salad is a great option.
