Ingredients
- 1 can of tuna about 5 oz - *You can use chicken or chickpeas as a substitute if desired.*
- 2 large eggs - *Hard-boiled of course!*
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise - *Greek yogurt works well for a lighter option.*
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard - *Traditional mustard could also work here.*
- 1/4 cup of celery finely chopped - *Feel free to leave this out if you’re not a fan!*

Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water, about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once they start boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
- Cool those eggs: After 10 minutes, place the eggs in cold water to cool off. Once cooled, peel them and chop them up!
- Open the tuna: Grab your can of tuna and drain the water. Then, flake the tuna into a mixing bowl.
- Mix it all together: In the bowl with the tuna, add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, and any optional ingredients like dill or lemon juice.
- Season it: Add salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good stir until thoroughly combined.
- Chill and Serve: Let the Tuna Egg Salad sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Then scoop it onto your favorite bread, crackers, or salad greens. Enjoy!
