Amazing Albacore Tuna Salad image

I love having tuna salad on lettuce or as a sandwich; either way, I fix it the same and then add it to my choice of eats.

ALBACORE TUNA SALAD
1 small can of albacore tuna (5 oz can)
2 medium eggs, hard boiled and sliced
2 celery stalks, diced small
2 - 3 Tbsp onion, chopped
1/2 iceberg lettuce head, chopped
olive oil or grapeseed oil and vinegar
DRESSING FOR TUNA
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/8 tsp garlic powder (heaping)
1/8 tsp onion powder (heaping)
1/2 tsp beau monde seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
GARNISH FOR SALAD
2 Tbsp capers
1 dozen grape tomatoes, sliced
balsamic glaze, drizzled

Steps:

  • 1. Hard boil your eggs and then slice them two ways in your egg slicer.
  • 2. Get two bowls ready by taking 1/2 of your shredded lettuce and placing it in the bowls. Drizzle olive oil and vinegar on lettuce.
  • 3. Drain tuna and place in bowl. Add celery, eggs and fresh chopped onion. Mix your mayonnaise with the seasonings and add to tuna mixture. (You don't need salt because beau monde has plenty in it.) Once you have it all mixed take an ice cream scooper or big spoon and place a scoop of tuna on top of lettuce. Then, garnish with capers, tomatoes and a circular drizzle of balsalmic glaze. Add a little more cracked pepper if you like.
