COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNA & EGG SALAD (NO MAYO)



Completely Different Tuna & Egg Salad (No Mayo) image

Not your usual tuna or egg salad, this can be enjoyed as is, in a sandwich, on top of greens, or any other way that sounds good to you. If you want to add a touch of mayo for creaminess, go ahead- but it's plenty good without! You can change up the ingredients to suit what you have on hand, or what you like- chopped pickles instead of capers, oil packed tuna instead of water packed, different herbs, shallot instead of green onion... This is just how I first made it based on what was in my kitchen.

TUNA AND EGG SALAD DIVINE



Tuna and Egg Salad Divine image

DH asks me to make this once a week and I don't oblige because it's a great lunch or snack for him when I'm not home or don't feel like cooking. I'll either serve it cold to him on fresh wheat bread, or if I have time I will use Sourdough bread, add a slice of cheese, and make him a tuna melt. I prefer not to use a bunch of mayo or miracle whip, I don't like it to overpower the tuna.
