Tips on Making The Best Tuna Fish Salad

• Make sure you have fresh celery that is nice and crunchy.  Always use real mayonnaise if possible.
• Lightly salt the top of the smashed eggs and then put the salt shaker down.  Tuna fish itself can be a little salty so don’t add too much.  You can always go back and salt more later.
• Buy quality tuna fish if possible.
• Always use warm eggs and mash them like egg salad first.

Step 1.  Peel the eggs while they are still hot and mash them with a fork until it almost resembles egg salad.  Salt and pepper the eggs and stir until well combined.

Step 2.  Take your 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and mix in with the egg.

Step 3.  Add the chopped fresh celery and sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on top; mix again until well combined.

Step 4.  Now add the tuna fish and mix lightly using a fork. Don’t add more salt, but do add more mayonnaise if needed.

If you followed all these steps, you now have the best tuna salad that is warm and comforting!
