How to Make Tuna Egg Salad

Step 1: Hard Boil Eggs

First, follow our hard-boiled eggs tutorial to hard boil 8 large eggs. If you’ve just bought a dozen eggs specifically for this tuna egg salad, feel free to hard boil all 12 and keep 4 hard-boiled eggs on hand for breakfasts or snacks on the go throughout the week.

Step 2: Chill, Peel and Dice Eggs

Once the eggs are done, transfer them into an ice water bath for around 10 minutes. This makes them easier to peel. Peel all 8 eggs. Then, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces and place them into a large bowl.

Step 3: Drain Tuna

Drain and rinse a 5 oz. can of white albacore tuna and add that to the same bowl.

Step 4: Mince Red Onion and Chives

Mince 2 tablespoons of red onion and 2 tablespoons of chives and add those to the bowl and mix together.

Step 5: Prepare Tuna Egg Salad Sauce

Prepare the tuna egg salad sauce by mixing together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and sriracha in a small bowl. Then, add this sauce to the large bowl and mix everything together.

Made this tonight for lunch tomorrow. Its perfect since I count macros. I was wondering what is a serving size? I know its 4 servings for the recipe. Love it because its high in protein as well and I used 7 eggs and Kraft avocado mayo to cut fat

Just a comment for now, this sounds wonderful. Never thought to add eggs to tuna salad. I make my mother’s potato salad and the secret to it is many eggs added to it. Thank you and after i make it i’ll take a pic and give my review. Mikki btw I just signed up to get your emails too. Cheers

That was amazing! I just made it for dinner. Very healthy and extremelly high in protein. I additionally added fresh red paprika, spread the tortilla with avocado and topped with picked red onions. I also replaced hard boilled eggs with omelette.

Delicious recipe and nice change from the regular tuna or egg salad. Next time I think I will cut the eggs in half and double the tuna because I’m more of a tuna fan.

This sounds very good but 8 eggs seems like a lot. I may cut in in half.
