Tuna Salad with Chopped Eggs

tuna

dill pickles (chopped)

onion

celery (diced)

eggs

mayonnaise

yogurt

mustard

jalapeño (optional) (diced)

Lemon pepper

In a mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork.

Season with lemon pepper, to taste. 

Question! The written recipe calls for 8oz of Tuna, however the video calls for 16oz… all other ingredients remained the same…

This is almost identical to my recipe except that I also add a small amount of horse radish.

My kitty gets the drained liquid from the cans and the cans themselves to clean out. 

This tuna salad recipe is very tasty. I forgot to add the mustard but it still turned out good. I added extra dill in the form of dill weed. Next time I'll try the jalapeno too.

I didn't have to make this tuna salad recipe because it's exactly the way that my mother made it for me when I was growing up. It's the best tuna salad ever!

Love this recipe, I add a few tsp of fresh lemon juice and yellow mustard the tuna.

Growing up I always loved both tuna salad and egg salad! So, putting them together appealed to me.  With the exception of adding two additional hard boiled eggs, I used your wonderful recipe as written.  I loved it and will make it again! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! 

I like tuna salad but ABSOLUTELY LOVE this recipe! It helped to refresh an old favorite for my meal prepped lunches!! The jalapeños give it a great little kick!

I have been making and eating tuna salad for decades, and this is without doubt the best tuna salad I have ever eaten.  I included the jalapeño and lemon pepper. It's easy to make, and we love it. Yum!

So yummy!!! I had to sub sour-cream for yogurt, because I didn’t have yogurt…but this recipe was so yummy!!! 

I like the flavor of the yogurt.  I will make it like this now. I like it all different ways. My fav being lightly toasted white bread w small chunks of iceberg and a slice if Monterrey jack or pepper jack ch. Yums!
