  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 hard‑boiled eggs, chopped

1 can (≈5 oz / 140‑150g) canned tuna, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ cup celery, finely chopped

2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lettuce leaves, bread or crackers (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Hard‑boil eggs: cover eggs with water, bring to boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for ~10 minutes. Transfer to ice water, peel, and chop.
  2. Drain tuna and flake into a bowl.
  3. Add chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, and dill. Mix gently until everything is combined.
  4. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust as desired.
  5. Serve on lettuce, with crackers or bread, or chill in fridge for later use.

Notes

  • To lighten up, replace some or all of the mayo with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado.
  • Add crunch with diced bell pepper or shredded carrot.
  • For a tangy twist, include pickles, capers, or a splash of lemon juice.
  • Try herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon instead of or in addition to dill.
  • Make ahead: store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
