Tuna salad with hard-boiled eggs
This is a straightforward recipe because both main ingredients do not need very complex cooking. You can always cook fresh tuna on your own, but it is entirely valid to buy canned tuna instead. On the other hand, hard-boiled eggs only need two steps to get ready: boiling and peeling.
After having the main ingredients ready, chop the eggs and add mayonnaise in p. Mix the ingredients using a spatula until the egg yolk forms a creamy texture with the mayo. Then you can add canned or fresh tuna and the rest of the ingredients.
Besides canned tuna, we recommend cutting red onions into small pieces and adding one tablespoon of red wine vinegar. You can use a variety of spices, but we recommend only salt and pepper.
You can eat tuna salad with hard-boiled eggs in various dishes. It goes great with bread, and you can use this salad as a side dish with meat. In any case, it is a protein-packed recipe you can get ready in a few minutes and with minimal effort.
One of the best aspects of this tuna salad recipe is how versatile it is. So, take a look at the fridge. You can always add other ingredients such as bacon, avocados, lettuce, green onions, and bell pepper.

Egg salad sandwich recipe
We just mentioned that you could eat a salad with bread, but let’s talk about this in more detail. This is a different recipe you can try, and even if it looks similar to the one above, it tastes completely different. The best thing is that you don’t need much preparation to make it taste amazing and will get a complete share of protein and carbs in a single dish.
In this case, the main ingredients are also readily available without much preparation. They are sandwich bread and hard-boiled eggs. Boil the eggs and peel them. Cut the sandwich bread into thin slices. Then, continue by cutting the hard-boiled eggs. Make sure they are small pieces, and then add mayonnaise. Just like the recipe above, mix the ingredients and let mayonnaise form a kind of foam with the egg yolk.
You can add extra ingredients, and we recommend for this recipe Dijon mustard, chopped chives, lemon juice, and granulated garlic. Whatever you do, make sure to add salt and pepper, too. The rest of the ingredients mentioned above are also a possibility.
After you’re done mixing the ingredients, let it sit for a while after covering in foil. We recommend taking this salad to the fridge for half an hour. This will make the flavors blend before taking them to your sandwich. Next, just spread the egg salad in one slice and cover it with the other. Cut the bread diagonally and serve.
For this recipe, you can try different variations by preparing the sandwich with different types of bread. Besides white bread, you can try whole wheat bread for an extra share of dietary fiber. Black bread is another excellent choice and has much more dietary fiber.

Stuffed eggs with shrimp
The first two recipes in this article are similar in a way. This one is entirely different. It is commonly used as an appetizer or as a side dish, and it looks great. Stuffed eggs are not difficult to make, as you will see next.
While you’re boiling the eggs, take some time to take out the dark stripe of the shrimp. You can do this before cooking them. After the shrimp and the eggs are ready, cut the eggs in halves. Reserve one half and chop the other along with the yolk in small pieces. Likewise, chop the shrimp into pieces and take the chopped ingredients into a bowl with mayonnaise and ketchup. Add salt, pepper, and any other spice you personally like.
Combine the ingredients and mix thoroughly. After that, take the egg halves you reserved for later. With a spoon, stuff the egg halves with the shrimp salad. Now you’re almost done, but the last step is simply sprinkling some chopped chives on top and adding a shrimp before serving.
There are many variations to this recipe, and you will probably find them as deviled eggs. Alternative ingredients you can use include mustard, cilantro, chorizo, smoked salmon, avocado, minced jalapeño, and much more.
