Ahh, tuna salad. Even those of us who would swear not to know how to cook have their own recipe for tuna salad. Everyone has their own preference; relish or no relish? Celery or no? Mayo or mustard or… The list of variations go on forever. So here’s my recent take. Do with it what you will.
As I’d mentioned in a recent post, I’d made a dozen and a half deviled eggs. Struggling to finish them all over a few days proved a huge challenge, so instead I thought of ways to use them up. B. wasn’t having any of that, so I decided – and I’d never considered this high protein possibility before – I could slice up the whites and mash the yolks up with some tuna to make a new version of tuna salad.
As a friend pointed out, however, this has been done before. Whatever, I’ve never done it before.
I also added chopped celery, pickle relish, a generous splash of dried dill, some dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Tasty, slightly tart from all the lemon juice and pickles, bright and fresh tasting from the dill…. it was good. Kick-ass, even.
As always, happy eating!!!
