KITTENCAL'S EGG OR TUNA AND OLIVE SALAD SANDWICHES



Kittencal's Egg or Tuna and Olive Salad Sandwiches image

This is so good you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl for a taste! ---it's great in a sandwich stuffed in a pita or scooped on a large lettuce leaf, I have served this many times for a luncheon get together and everyone loves it! --- the amounts listed are usually what I use for 8 eggs but the exact measurements do not really matter just use whatever you wish for the amount of eggs you make, I purchase the pimento-stuffed olives for this and I say the more you use the better! after slicing the olives make certain to hand-squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible --- plan ahead slightly the mixture needs to chill for a few hours before using.

GRANDMA DEE'S TUNA EGG SALAD



Grandma Dee's Tuna Egg Salad image

Would you consider this a tuna salad recipe? Or is it an egg salad recipe? Regardless, combining tuna with hard-boiled eggs is delicious and, after one bite, you may never make your salad the old way again. Vidalia onion dressing gives the salad a sweet onion flavor. Shredding the celery is easy and makes the piece the perfect...

Provided by Dee Stillwell

Categories     Other Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large hard cooked eggs
3 can(s) tuna, drained well (6 oz each)
4 - 5 celery ribs, add leaves if desired
2/3 c green onions, chopped fine
2/3 c vidalia onion salad dressing
2/3 c mayonaise
1 tsp lemon pepper (or to taste)
1 tsp dill weed or fresh dill
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper (or to taste)
1/4 c red bell pepper, chopped finely (optional)
1/4 c green bell pepper, chopped finely (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Make hard-boiled eggs and chill in the fridge. For foolproof hard-boiled eggs (the Rachael Ray and my way), put eggs in a medium-sized pot with a lid. Cover eggs with cold water by 1". Add 1 tsp salt (this seals egg from coming out if shell cracks). Cover, bring to boil, turn off the heat, set a timer for 12-14 minutes. Remove the lid, drain, and run cold water over them until cooled off (I let them sit in the cold water about 10 minutes before peeling). Drain off water, put the lid back on, gently shake eggs in the pot to thoroughly break up shells. Cover with cold water again, let sit for abt 5 minutes to let water seep under shells to make peeling easier. Also peeling eggs underwater helps a lot. The shells will slip right off. This works best with eggs a few days old. This is the coolest way to make good hard-boiled eggs. I have never had that green ring around the yolk since I started cooking them this way.
  • 2. Prepare celery and green onions. I like to grate my celery on the biggest grater holes on a box grater. Then pick out the strings (Cayden's preference) and squeeze the excess water out (my preference).
  • 3. Drain the tuna well (I squeeze the excess liquid out of that too) and put it into a medium-sized bowl. Chop hard-cooked eggs and add to tuna. Add celery, green onion, red & green peppers and spices.
  • 4. Stir in the salad dressing and mayonnaise. Mix well and taste. Adjust seasonings if needed.
  • 5. Enjoy!

CREAMY TUNA & EGG SALAD

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNA & EGG SALAD (NO MAYO)



Completely Different Tuna & Egg Salad (No Mayo) image

Not your usual tuna or egg salad, this can be enjoyed as is, in a sandwich, on top of greens, or any other way that sounds good to you. If you want to add a touch of mayo for creaminess, go ahead- but it's plenty good without! You can change up the ingredients to suit what you have on hand, or what you like- chopped pickles instead of capers, oil packed tuna instead of water packed, different herbs, shallot instead of green onion... This is just how I first made it based on what was in my kitchen.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fingerling potatoes, scrubbed and halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons herbs de Provence
8 cloves garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound haricots verts (French green beans)
Kosher salt
4 quail eggs (quartered chicken eggs are a good substitution)
4 equally thick 3-ounce pieces 'sushi grade' ahi tuna
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, seeded and quartered
1 pound fresh baby tatsoi or baby arugula
1/2 cup, pitted and coarsely chopped nicoise olives
4 slices country bread or baguette, toasted
Balsamic vinaigrette:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup chopped capers
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced thyme

Steps:

  • To roast the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, potatoes, salt and pepper. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the potatoes until they begin to color, about 10 minutes. Turn the potatoes over, add the herbs de Provence and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes more. Set the potatoes aside to cool.
  • To prepare the salad: Wrap the peeled garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast in a 400 degree F oven until soft, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly then mash the garlic to a paste adding a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil. Set the garlic paste aside.
  • Blanch the haricots verts in boiling salted water, until crisp but tender, about 4 minutes. Refresh the beans in an ice bath, then set aside.
  • Boil the quail eggs in salted water for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Shock them in an ice bath, peel, and set aside.
  • To prepare the balsamic vinaigrette: Whisk 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard with the balsamic vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 3/4 cup olive oil. Add minced thyme and shallots.
  • To prepare the caper vinaigrette: Whisk 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard with the grain mustard, red wine vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 3/4 cup olive oil. Mix in the capers, shallots, and minced thyme.
  • To finish the salad: Season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat and oil a grill or cast iron pan and sear the tuna on both sides (the tuna is best rare¿the cooking time will depend upon the thickness of the pieces).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, tatsoi, haricots verts, potatoes, and olives. Dress the salad with balsamic vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on 4 plates. Spread the toast with garlic puree. Put a piece of toast on each salad and place a piece a tuna on top. Spoon caper vinaigrette over the tuna, garnish with a quail egg, season with salt and pepper and serve.

TUNA AND EGG SALAD DIVINE



Tuna and Egg Salad Divine image

DH asks me to make this once a week and I don't oblige because it's a great lunch or snack for him when I'm not home or don't feel like cooking. I'll either serve it cold to him on fresh wheat bread, or if I have time I will use Sourdough bread, add a slice of cheese, and make him a tuna melt. I prefer not to use a bunch of mayo or miracle whip, I don't like it to overpower the tuna.
