Creamy Tuna & Egg Salad image

I was hungry for egg salad but wanted it to have a bit more omphf and some more protein to last in my gut, so I added tuna. I have both mayo and miracle whip in the recipe just in case some don't like the tang of miracle whip, so it tones it down somewhat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) can tuna (in water)
8 eggs
1 medium onion (or more if you're gaga over onion)
1 teaspoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (more or less to your liking)
1 tablespoon Miracle Whip (more or less to your liking)
1 dash yellow mustard or 1 dash Dijon mustard
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put eggs into a pot with cold water and bring to a boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, cover the pan and remove from the burner. Set your timer for ten minutes.
  • Cut up onion and drain tuna while the eggs cook.
  • Once the eggs have done their 10 minute soak, rinse with COLD water to stop the cooking process.
  • Continue to rinse the eggs until you can hold them to remove the shell.
  • Remove the shell, rinse away any shell particles and cut into chunks (or small pieces if you like a finer texture).
  • Mix the egg, tuna, onion in a bowl with a fork.
  • Add mayo, Miracle Whip, ground mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and mix until blended.
  • Enjoy on bread or toast; or top a plate of mixed greens with tomatoes. You could also stuff tomatoes with the salad. A perfect summer meal when you don't want to turn on the oven!
