Tuna Salad #1 : Like Mom Used to Make

dividend's Note:

This is the tuna salad my mom used to make. Simple, comforting, wonderful on soft white bread. The quantities are estimates, since Mom never really measured.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 5

• 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water
• 4 eggs , hard-boiled
• ¼-½ cup mayonnaise (I'm partial to Hellman's)
• ¼ cup pickle relish
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

1. Coarsely chop the hardboiled eggs and add to a bowl.
2. Flake in the tuna.
3. Add the pickle relish, and stir to combine.
4. Add the mayonnaise a little at a time, tasting as you go, until you get a consistency you like. I like my tuna salad kind of creamy.
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. VARIATION:.
7. Use canned salmon in place of the tuna. Make sure to pick out all the pieces of bone and cartilage first.
