TUNA SALAD (BETTY CROCKER?)



Tuna Salad (Betty Crocker?) image

This is the tuna salad recipe I've had on a post-it note for ages.I think it came from a BC cookbook. I did a cursory search and couldn't find one with these ingredients. I make 4-6x the recipe as an appetizer, and we occasionally have leftovers for a sandwich or two the next day. I chop my veggies very finely so that it works as a salad and as a sandwich builder. Also, when I double (or more) the recipe, I use half tuna in water and half tuna in oil for more flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces tuna
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup scallion, finely diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, hard boiled, finely diced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish or 2 tablespoons bell peppers, finely diced

Steps:

  • Combine the first 5 ingredients.
  • Add eggs.
  • (a quick way to chop - use an egg slicer 3 times: after the first time, rotate the egg horizontally, like the hand of a clock, after the second, rotate around its axis, like turning a door knob).
  • Add enough mayo for a barely - moist salad (the veggies and tuna will give off liquid, so add a little less than you think you'll need).
  • Add relish/bell pepper.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Refrigerate several hours for flavors to meld.
