Step-by-step on how to prepare tuna salad with hard boiled eggs

Tuna salad with hard boiled eggs is an easy recipe you will have ready in a few minutes. It goes perfect with a variety of meats, a barbecue with your friends, or whole-wheat bread. Here’s how it will look like after we’re done:

So, let’s get started with the recipe of tuna salad with hard boiled eggs:

Step 1: Chop the hard boiled eggs and take them to a bowl with mayonnaise

First, you need to boil the eggs, which does not require more than just cooking 8 eggs and making sure that the water always covers them. Peel the eggs and cut them into small pieces. Once done cutting them, take them to a bowl and add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise.

Step 2: Mix until homogeneous

In the bowl, mix the ingredients and make sure that everything blends using a spatula or another instrument. You will see how the egg yolk forms a sort of paste with the mayonnaise, adding the desired texture to the mix.

Step 3: Add tuna, onions, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper

Now, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients. Depending on how much tuna you want in the salad, it can be 2-6 ounces of Albacore tuna. To give your salad a particular taste, we recommend using 1 tablespoon of red onion, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to your taste.

Step 4: Mix and serve

Once again, take your spatula and blend the ingredients until your salad looks homogeneous. Now you’re ready to go, and the salad will be ready to serve with other foods such as meat and bread.
