Classic canned tuna salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic salad with canned tuna? Prepare your ingredients. It is better to take natural tuna, without adding oil, as the salad will be dressed with mayonnaise. Boil the eggs in advance and cool; a salad prepared from warm ingredients will quickly spoil.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to hard boil eggs? Place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Clean them. Cut the eggs into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the canned tuna in a sieve to drain excess liquid. Then put it in a bowl and mash it with a fork.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the cucumber, dry it and cut off the ends on both sides. Cut the cucumber into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the dill, dry and finely chop.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a salad bowl, combine canned tuna, eggs, cucumber and herbs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix.

8. STEP 8

   

   You can serve the salad immediately, or you can put it in the refrigerator. Twenty minutes will be enough. Bon appetit!

I had a can of tuna in oil hidden in the refrigerator and wanted to make a layered salad. But everything didn’t work out. And then I wanted to make some tasty and easy-to-prepare salad for dinner. In my bookmarks I found a suitable recipe for Classic Canned Tuna Salad) Preparing this salad is extremely easy and quick. You just need to boil the eggs, and the rest is ready) I decided to replace the mayonnaise with 20% sour cream, so I also added a little black pepper for a little spice. As I understand it, fish plays the leading role in this salad. The taste of the entire salad depends entirely on its taste. After all, eggs themselves are neutral. Cucumber and dill add freshness and juiciness, but have little effect on the taste. Therefore, you definitely need to choose delicious canned fish) The salad turned out very tasty! All products go well together. I prepared the salad just before dinner so that I could eat it right away, otherwise the sour cream would release the whey over time. Thanks for the quick salad recipe, it came in handy in time)

I wanted to cook it as quickly and tasty as possible, so that the dinner would also be healthy. I took a can of canned tuna, I took it in oil, so I decided not to add mayonnaise to the salad. Cut two small cucumbers into cubes and three boiled eggs. I added a little greenery and mixed everything, adding a little salt, because tuna is also slightly salty. The salad turned out to be very tasty and aromatic, and thanks to the tuna, it was also filling.
