Tuna Salad

I have another one of my mom's recipes to share with you today.  When my mom comes to visit, she usually brings food, too!  We eat while she is here, and then I get to eat on the leftovers, which is always nice for me.  This weekend she brought tuna salad.  Just love her tuna salad.  It's one of my favorite lunches for spring/summer.  Just very refreshing and so very delicious!

Tuna Salad
1 large can (12 oz.) chunk tuna in water
1/2 c. chopped celery
1 t. finely minced onion
1 heaping T. sweet pickle relish
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/8 t. black pepper
Pinch of salt
1/4-1/3 c. mayonnaise (or any amount to get the consistency/creaminess that you like)

Drain tuna, and place in bowl.  Add the celery, onion, pickle relish, and seasonings.  Stir in desired amount of mayo.  Then gently fold in chopped eggs.  Refrigerate, and enjoy!  

Serve on bread as a sandwich or on top of lettuce/greens.

 Linking up with Laura, Jenn, Mackensey, and Mary.

    I'm not usually a very big tuna fan but I bet this recipe is really good with the extra relish!

    I love tuna salad! I always add some relish to mine too--a trick my dad taught me growing up. My husband was like "why are you putting that in there" the first time I made it and now he loves it! I never thought about putting hard boiled egg in there but that's a great idea!

    I'm so weird and only like tuna plain (literally right out of the can) on toast with melted cheese on top, haha. But this sounds really similar to how my husband makes tuna with the relish mixed in!

    Yummy! My mom would add noodles to hers so it could be a meal as well without bread.

    I love eating tuna! Although mine is really boring--just tuna and mayo. I love it because it's such a good source of protein
