Ingredients
1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
1 tablespoon diced red onion (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped pickles or relish
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 slices of bread (whole wheat, white, etc.)
Optional Add-ins:
Chopped celery
Fresh dill or parsley
A squeeze of lemon juice
Sliced avocado
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, red onion (if using), and pickles. Mix until well combined.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust creaminess by adding more mayo or a splash of pickle juice if desired. Add any optional ingredients like celery or herbs.
-
Spoon the mixture onto a slice of bread and top with the second slice. Toast the bread for extra texture, or go open-faced or low-carb by using lettuce cups.
Notes
Boil eggs in advance and store in the fridge for quick use.
Substitute mayo with plain Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Stretch the filling by adding mashed chickpeas or shredded carrots.
Great in wraps, over salads, or served with crackers.
