Instructions
- Chop celery and scallions finely. Add to a medium-sized bowl together with tuna, lemon, mayonnaise and mustard. Stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Add eggs to a sauce pan, and add water until it covers the eggs. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5-6 minutes (soft-medium) or 8-10 minutes (hardboiled).
- Place in ice-cold water immediately when done to make the eggs easier to peel. Divide them into wedges or halves.
- Place tuna mix and eggs on a bed of romaine lettuce. Add tomatoes and drizzle olive oil on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip!
A generous sprinkle of ground cumin, curry, or paprika can add interesting flavors to the hard-boiled eggs. But don't forget the salt and pepper! If you are not a fan of mayonnaise, you can substitute a classic homemade French vinaigrette. Just whisk together 2 tablespoons red- or white-wine vinegar, a squeeze of lemon, 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and salt & pepper to taste. Mix that with the tuna for a fresh, moist taste - without mayo!

Adding the cucumbers will adjust the nutritional value of the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed this one!
Muchas gracias por ésta receta, ¡está deliciosa! ❤️
Al principio creí que sería mucha mayonesa pero al preparar todo, quedó increíble.
Yo preparo para 6 días y guardo en refrigerador.
Lo único que cambié para que me diera la nutrición en MyFitnessPal, fué usar atún en agua (NO en aceite)
Si son de México, la marca Herdez, es una gran opción.
También evité el uso de aceite de oliva que marca la receta (gusto personal)
Sabe delicioso en verdad y da muchísima saciedad.
De corazón, mil gracias por seguir proporcionando opciones para nosotros.
Por cierto, llevo 8 kilos menos en dos meses, soy inmensamente feliz.
Gracias!
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
You can try a bit of avocado for fat and little more tuna for the missing protein.
