The Best Tuna Salad Ever

1 (5 oz.) can tuna, drained, and flaked
1 sm. Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced
1/3 c. mayonnaise
1 hard boiled egg, crumbled up with a fork
1/4 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
2 T. sweet pickle relish
1 T. mustard
1/2 tsp. parsley
1/4 tsp. lemon juice


     In a medium sized bowl, add in the tuna.

   Stir in the rest of the ingredients.


         Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve on lightly toasted bread.   Sometimes we also like to add in some sliced green grapes.  Yum!

      I know some people like celery in their tuna salad but my husband HATES celery so I like to add the apples in to replace the crunch and seriously, I think it's better with the apple.

     Also, some people never put eggs into their tuna salad but with eggs is my preferred way.  Adding eggs is one way to add protein to the meal and it helps stretch the tuna salad further.
 
    So great to add in some homemade guacamole.

  1. This is the way that my friend makes hers, but I prefer just tuna, a little mayo and some salt and pepper.

  2. The thing I love about tuna is it's so flexible. I like capers, celery, onion, red bell pepper, pickles... (not all at the same time). It also goes well with artichoke hearts.
