FFM's Favorite Tuna Salad Recipe

You will need:

12 oz can of Tuna
1/2 cup Mayo
1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
2 hard boiled eggs chopped
2 Tbl parsley flakes
Celery Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
1 tsp spicy brown mustard (optional)

Combine the tuna, diced onions, chopped eggs, parsley and mayo, blending with a fork to help break up the tuna chunks.

Add celery salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Add the celery salt a little at a time because it tends to be saltier than plain salt.

Add the mustard if you want a little extra kick.

This is the basic easy tuna salad recipe. To this you can add different things (raisins, cherry tomatoes, relish, slivered almonds) according to taste. Add cooked macaroni to make it a hearty tuna pasta salad, or serve it on a bed of lettuce with shredded cheddar. My kids love it on wheat bread with Sun Chips on the side.
