Ingredients:

• 12 ounce can solid white tuna, drained and flaked
• 1/2 cup diced Vidalia onion or green onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1/2 cup celery
• 1/2 cup sweet relish, drained
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
• 8 large hard cooked eggs, dice egg whites, mash yolks
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• Lettuce leaves, bread, or sandwich rolls

Method

To egg yolks add sweet relish, black pepper, sugar, mustard, and mayonnaise and stir. Combine all ingredients except mayonnaise mixture. Stir in mayonnaise mixture. Add more mayonnaise if needed, so that salad coheres but isn't runny, then mix well. Serve over lettuce leaves or as a sandwich filling.

Notes: Using the mashed egg yolks to create the dressing adds to the flavor tremendously.

Number of servings: 4-6 servings
