Tuna and Egg Salad Divine
"DH asks me to make this once a week and I don't oblige because it's a great lunch or snack for him when I'm not home or don't feel like cooking. I'll either serve it cold to him on fresh wheat bread, or if I have time I will use Sourdough bread, add a slice of cheese, and make him a tuna melt. I prefer not to use a bunch of mayo or miracle whip, I don't like it to overpower the tuna."

Thank You Thank You...I have been trying to make my brother tuna salad just like this, But it kept on being so watery and just to much mayo...Now I have the measurements for it all and just maybe it will be better. Now mind you I know to drain the tuna. smiles and hugs 2 U -
The idea of combining tuna and hard-boiled eggs intrigued me and I'm so glad I tried it. This is a very tasty salad that people (I'm not naming any names) kept sticking their heads in the fridge to pick at. It didn't last long. I love the onion and pickles. My only change was to use 2 Tbsp of low-fat mayo instead of just 1 of miracle whip. The salad was a little too dry with just 1 Tbsp. Wonderful recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir!
However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around!
I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side!
My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food!
