Tips for a Perfect Egg Tuna Salad:
- Use good-quality canned tuna for the best taste. Tuna packed in water is a healthier choice and lets the natural flavors of the tuna shine through.
- Make sure to drain the tuna well to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- You can prepare hard-boiled eggs in advance to save on prep time. They stay good in the fridge for up to one week.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard according to your taste. Some like their tuna salad creamy, while others prefer it drier.
- If you want to add a crunch to your salad, consider adding finely chopped pickles, bell peppers, or even a handful of chopped nuts or seeds.
- The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
