Recipe: Crazy Veggie Tuna Salad with Boiled Egg

This recipe is my Hubby's favorite way to eat tuna. It is a great way to add more veggies into your diet and definitely makes the usual tuna sandwich a lot more exciting. This recipe makes enough for several sandwiches or can be used as a main dish for a cold Summer supper.

Ingredients:

Tuna: 2 cans drained(I prefer tuna in water but the Israeli way is Tuna in Oil)
Corn: 1 small can or the kernels from 2-3 ears fresh
Spring Onion: 3-4 chopped fine with green tops
Onion: 1 medium onion chopped fine (my husband likes both regular onion as well as spring onion in the salad, up to you as to whether you use one or both)
Cucumber: 3-4 medium English thin skin ones, chopped fine with skin (if using the thicker waxy cucumbers, remove seeds and skin)
Dill Pickles: 5-6 chopped fine
Red Bell Pepper: 1 large pepper, chopped fine
Hard Boiled Egg: Peeled and chopped into chunks.
Mayo
Salt
Pepper

Also Need:

Large Salad Bowl
Spoon for Mixing

To Prepare:

Combine Tuna, Corn, Onion, Cucumber, Pickles, Bell Pepper, and Boiled egg into the bowl. Add mayo by the spoonful until it is the consistency that your prefer (usually takes 3-4 good dollops to coat everything). Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix throughly and spread on bread for sandwiches, eat on crackers, or add to a bed of lettuce for a yummy Summer salad. Enjoy!!
