Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 2 can (5 ounces each) of canned tuna, drained
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Bread or crackers

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes. Then, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and chop them.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  • Pour the mayonnaise and mustard mixture over the tuna and egg mixture. Gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • When ready to serve, line a plate or platter with lettuce leaves. Spoon the Egg and Tuna Salad onto the lettuce leaves.
  • Serve the salad with sliced tomatoes and your choice of bread or crackers.
