Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 (3.5 oz) cans tuna drained well and flaked with a fork
  • 3 pieces chilled hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoon pickle relish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Mix up the dressing ingredients in a medium-large bowl until a creamy, thick dressing forms.
  • Add the tuna to the bowl along with the rest of the salad ingredients and toss to coat everything in the dressing.
  • Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, and enjoy over greens, on toast, or with crackers and fresh-cut veggies.
  • Don’t over-stir. Toss gently to avoid turning the salad into paste.

Notes

Can serve with greens, toast, crackers, or as a topping on a pasta salad. If using onion, rinse under cold water to mellow the flavor. For a fresher tang, add a squeeze of lemon.
