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. Ingredients:
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water |
4 eggs, hard-boiled |
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise (i'm partial to hellman's) |
1/4 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.
