How to Make Hipquest's Tuna Salad

  1. Hard-boil 2 large eggs. Once cool, peel and finely chop. Set aside.
  2. Drain one 5-ounce can of tuna in a fine-mesh colander. Rinse with warm water and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or to taste), 1/2 cup chopped celery (optional), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional), 1/2 cup diced cucumber, and 1/2 cup diced tomatoes.
  4. Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs (optional), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more mayonnaise for creaminess, or lemon juice for brightness. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, or atop a bed of mixed greens.
  6. *Gourmet Option*: Substitute the canned tuna with 150g of grilled tuna, flaked.
