Tuna and Egg Salad
Now honestly, I guess I wouldn't generally post about making egg salad, or here, tuna & egg salad. Or, maybe I would {scratches head} dunno... but, it gives me an opportunity to tell y'all about my electronic rice cooker - so I figured what the heck.Can you believe that I'm just now gettin' around to trying out steaming hard boiled (hmm... if they're steamed, I suppose they're not really hard-boiled now are they? but hard-steamed sounds, well, goofy. Oh well, anyway...) eggs?! I'm really liking this little cooker I tell ya. It is Lent afterall and I'm tryin' to do my best to stay away from meat on Fridays and so, I wanted some tuna & egg salad for lunch. But, then ... I got to wondering ...
... do most folks go with sweet pickles or dill pickles? Or do they even put pickles in their tuna salad at all?
I know. I'm such a deep thinker.
But seriously, as I was puttin' mine together, which I always do the same way, all the time, all my life, I got to really wondering how do other people make their tuna salad? Afterall, folks do land here from the interwebs looking for recipes for egg salad and tuna salad.
I think when I make a big batch of hard-cooked eggs, this cooker is gonna be my new favorite way to do them! So, here's how I do my tuna & egg salad.
How do you do yours? Are you a sweet pickle person? Or a dill pickle person? Or ... no pickles at all?
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Hmmmm. I'll have to try it. I have never had this one before.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I make mine about the same way. I have a rice cooker I can steam in but haven't tried eggs.
ReplyDeleteHubby was just askin' for some tuna salad, guess I'm gonna have to make some.
Never have seen a rice maker, with the steamer for eggs, that's real nice. Eggs came out perfect. I'm a sweet relish girl, and don't tell nobody, but my whole family uses Miracle Whip instead of mayo.....lol. Gonna try your recipe, I like the idea of adding hot sauce. Looks delicious:)
ReplyDeleteI just took a look at the rice maker on Amazon, very nice!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI use sweet pickles, boiled eggs and minced onions are a must! Mixed with Miracle Whip because I don't do Mayo ;D
ReplyDeleteI have been lazy a time or two and left out the onions and boiled egg...hubby refuses to eat it that way though so that bowl is all mine!;D
Looks like sweet pickles is the winner so far! My kinda gals! ♥
ReplyDeleteLOL Tammy - that's funny with your hubby - mine if left on his own will just take tuna fish and mayo straight up. No seasonings, no nothin'! If I don't have green onion, I use good old regular yellow onion too, but it's gotta have some kind of onion for sure!
Ugh, I am so hungry and all your delicious looking recipes are making my tummy growl.
ReplyDelete:)
And funny story. I work for a restaurant and as a joke my two cooks took a not boiled egg and threw it in the boiled egg pot that was cooling down to be peeled and set aside for salads. While a third and unsuspecting cook went to that egg to peel, he got a surprise.
No worries, no prepped food for guest consuming was harmed. Just ONE egg.
Thanks so much for visiting on my SITS day :)
LOL, I miss pranks at work. I once arrived at my office to find everything on my desk on the walls, on my bookshelves had been turned upside down!! Boys.
ReplyDeleteI make my Tuna salad similar to yours except I don't add any seasoning save a little black pepper; I make my own sweet pickle relish, so I throw some of that in, I probably use a bit more miracle whip and no mustard. The eggs are a must have.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree on the eggs too - well, except for tuna melts. I know some people use the same mix for those but I exclude the eggs.

ReplyDeleteGirlfriend... I love me some tuna fish salad. I make mine using tuna, mayo, celery seed, red delicious apple, boiled eggs, kosher dill pickles, cracked pepper and it with with crackers. I have been known to put it on wheat bread. My mom uses onion instead of apple and sometimes a fresh tomato but it makes it kinda messy. Will have to try the boiled eggs in my rice cooker!
ReplyDeleteI love apple in my chicken salad, so why not?!!
