Tuna Egg Salad
- 5 oz can of Wild Planet albacore wild tuna or tuna of your choice, drained
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 avocado, cubed
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (store bought or homemade)
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 5 cornichons or dill pickles, finely chopped
Green Salad
- 2–4 cups arugula
- 4–8 baby tomatoes, halved
- ¼–½ bell peppers, sliced
- 1 lemon wedge
- Everything But The Bagel seasoning, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Drain the canned tuna and peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs. Cube the avocado and finely chop the cornichons or dill pickles.
- Mix Salad: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped eggs, cubed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped cornichons. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Assemble Green Salad: Place the arugula in a serving bowl. Top with the prepared tuna egg salad, then add halved baby tomatoes and sliced bell peppers over the top.
- Season and Serve: Sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning generously over the assembled salad. Add a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing fresh lemon juice over the salad just before eating to brighten the flavors.
Notes
- Hard boil eggs by placing them in boiling water for 9-12 minutes, then cool in ice water for easy peeling.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or use a low-fat mayonnaise.
- Use fresh lemon just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning.
- Feel free to swap out arugula for baby spinach or mixed greens.
- This salad can be served on its own or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
