Mix the Ingredients:

  • Add chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, red onion, and lemon juice to the tuna.
  • Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and paprika.

Taste & Adjust:

  • If the salad is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise.
  • For extra flavor, mix in relish, garlic powder, or avocado.

Notes

✔ Make it Healthier: Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo or add mashed avocado for creaminess.
✔ Meal Prep Tip: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
✔ Extra Crunch: Add chopped nuts or sunflower seeds for texture.
✔ Spicy Twist: Stir in Sriracha or hot sauce for a kick.
