How To Make Tuna Salad With Egg
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. Want to change it up? Sometimes I swap out the dressing for avocado (like my avocado tuna salad), add other spices (try 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder for a spicy kick.for a kick), or mix in crumbled oven bacon for extra flavor. I don’t recommend freezing it, as this will ruin the texture of the eggs and mayo. If I’m bringing it to a potluck or picnic, I just pack it in a cooler with ice packs.
Sandwiches – I love smashing this salad between two slices of 90 second bread, fluffy cloud bread, or coconut flour bread, but you can use any bread you like. It also makes an amazing tuna melt with some cheese! Crackers – Spread it on your favorite kind, or use them for dipping. For homemade options, try my flax seed crackers or baked tortilla chips. Veggies – Stuff the tuna egg salad inside a hollowed-out bell pepper (like my bell pepper sandwich), or scoop it with mini bell peppers, large cucumber slices, or other veggies like a dip. You can even spoon it inside avocado halves to make stuffed avocado! Lettuce Wraps – This is what I did for the pictures here! Wrap the salad in lettuce leaves, like Romaine or Bibb lettuce. Any kind that’s big enough to wrap works!
