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
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.
