Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Eggs: Start by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently add the eggs and let them cook for 10–12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool them rapidly.
  2. Prepare the Tuna: Open the canned tuna and drain it well. Flake the tuna with a fork in a mixing bowl.
  3. Dice the Eggs: Once the hard-boiled eggs are cool, peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the mixing bowl with the tuna.
  4. Mix in the Dressing: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, dill relish, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until well incorporated.
  5. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Taste your salad and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or other preferred ingredients.
  6. Chill for Flavor: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Healthy Tuna Egg Salad on toast, in lettuce cups, or with whole-grain crackers.
