Evil Tuna

Hey, did you hear about the evil tuna? Rumor has it he was rotten to the “albacore”. Knee-slap, snort, hardy, har, har.

Tuna Salad

Ingredients:

• (2) 12 oz. cans of albacore tuna in water, (drained thoroughly)
• 3/4 cup peeled, finely chopped apple      *I use red delicious or golden delicious
• 3 boiled eggs, peeled
• 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet yellow onion
• 3/4 – 1cup of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon pickle juice
• 4 tablespoons of chopped dill pickle (or sweet relish if you prefer)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Open and thoroughly drain (2) 12 oz. cans of tuna.
• Pour into a medium to large mixing bowl.

• Add chopped apple.

• Remove yolks, and finely chop egg whites. Add to tuna.

• Add chopped onion.

• Add pickle juice (this is my little secret for potato salad too)
• Add chopped pickle.
• Lightly stir tuna and all added ingredients. 

 

• Fold in 3/4 cup mayo. Add another 1/4 cup if you feel it needs more. I almost always use 1 cup and don’t feel like it’s too heavy.

(Tennessee girls know that JFG mayonnaise it the bomb!)

I love it so much that I bribe family members to bring it when the come to visit.

• Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Chill at least an hour. 

Serve on a bed of butter lettuce with tomatoes, or make a yummy sandwich.  I like to eat tuna salad sandwiches made with Earth Grains “Wheat Berry with Honey” bread.   ENJOY!
