Fancy Tuna Salad image

This tuna salad is simple but filled with so many flavors. There's some saltiness from green olives. Chopped pecans add crunch and a nutty flavor. Chopped hard-boiled eggs lighten the salad so it spreads nicely on a toasted bun. It's delicious! A great lunch or snack.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 can(s) albacore tuna (12 oz each)
1/2 c chopped green olives
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 c chopped celery
mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. Hard-boil the eggs.
  • 2. Drain tuna. Place in a bowl and separate into flakes.
  • 3. I use my mini food processor to chop enough olives to yield about 1/2 cup and enough pecans to yield about 1/2 cup.
  • 4. Also, use the food processor to chop the eggs.
  • 5. Finely chop the celery. (I don't find celery does well in the food processor.)
  • 6. Mix all ingredients with the tuna.
  • 7. Add enough mayonnaise to make it a desired spreading consistency. Taste your salad and if you wish, experiment with adding additional seasonings.
  • 8. Spread tuna onto bread of your choice. Then cut into 1/2 or 1/4 sandwiches. Or, set bowl of salad out and individuals can make their own sandwiches on round or hoagie buns or croissants.
