How to Make Tasty Tuna Salad

If you love tuna salad or tuna sandwiches, this is an easy recipe you will want to try.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 6 oz. Can Tuna Fish
• 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
• 1 Tablespoon Chopped Dill Relish (or less to taste)
• 1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Dried Minced Onions
• 1/8 teaspoon Dried Minced Basil Leaves (or less to taste)
• 1/8 teaspoon Dried Minced Oregano Leaves (or less to taste)
• Dash Garlic Salt (to taste)
• Dash Black Pepper (to taste)
• 1 Peeled Hard-boiled Egg
• Optional: Tomato, Celery, or Lettuce

1. Mix together dried herbs and spices in bottom of a bowl with a lid so that it can be sealed and placed in the refrigerator when everything is done.

2. Add dill relish then stir in mayonnaise and mustard until all dried items are coated.

3. Drain tuna. Then stir tuna and chopped cooled boiled egg into mix until all is mixed well.

4. Seal bowl and place in refrigerator for at least an hour to chill and allow flavors to mix.

5. When ready to serve as a salad, if desired you may add a little chopped tomato and/or celery to the salad to add extra flavor, vitamins, and some crunch. If you do not like crunchy celery but want more veggies in your salad, you could boil or saute the celery when you do the egg and then add it to the salad at the same time you add the cooled egg.
   
   If you are using the salad as sandwich filler, serve it with sliced tomato and lettuce leaves on a separate platter so people can compile their own sandwiches. Of course, you will also need to provide sliced bread for the sandwiches.

Tips & Warnings

• This recipe serves one as only a salad or 2 if raw veggies are added as a side complement. It makes a few sandwiches depending on how thick you like your filling to be. This recipe can readily be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
• Keep chopped celery in a freezer bag in the freezer so you can take out how much you want when needed to add to cooking. Or if you do not want it cooked, put the amount you want in a small bowl to thaw until you are ready to add it.
